If student fails a course

do not stress yourself over grades
grades don't define you
you could fail everything and be the smartest person in the room
you could fail out of school and be the most successful person
grades do not define your success

do you ever get a bad grade
and then you feel stressed to go home and tell your parents
it's okay to cry
if you have to cry, cry, let it out, cry

if you fail a course, you're not going to fail in life, you can always change your life around

students sometimes feel like they're in secondary school  
and they think, oh, if i failed my non-technical test
i'm not going to go to university  

you have to work hard
that's what you have to do in life
whatever it is, it's working hard
and you'll be fine
but grades aren't everything
i feel like if you're an adult you know that

it very hard to love myself
it's practice
practice, practice, practice
just like if i tried to teach you how to drive a car today
it might be hard to learn how to drive that car
but with practice you get good at it
loving yourself is the same

how do we support somebody
keep your head up
huge big part is mental health
talking about having feelings
how to deal with your feelings
what do you do if you're feeling sad

every body, literal body is different
don't compare your body
just take care of your body

talk to them like, more of an adult
they don't want to be spoken to like a kid

it makes them want to be in my class
it makes them want to participate
it makes them want to be with me
and in secondary school, that can be really difficult
so i liked it because it was giving me street cred in the secondary school
it was making my students want to be in my class
which is like half half the battle
