Weaknesses Become Strengths

In about 15 minutes I'll be meeting with my first student of the day. This is an 8th grader who deals with ADHD and depression and so it is very difficult for him to focus when he's dealing with academics. My focus for him in the next month is to get him ready to go to high school (a huge Ann Arbor high school).

Today our discussion will be on how he can be his own advocate. But it will mean telling others of his weaknesses. How comfortable will he be in doing that? How comfortable are any of us in baring our downfalls? But, I know for him, that will be how he can become a stronger person and a better learner. Pray for him, that he won't get lost in the crowd and that his weaknesses will become his strengths. A good prayer for all of us!
