There are so many really good stories about resilience and we want to thank Jeff Macon and Mandy Morrison for sharing their stories with our J-term class Ya'all Take Care. Jeff is the husband of Tisha Macon and Mandy is her cousin. In class we have been learning about Social Emotional Learning, which includes self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationships and decision making. These two had it all and their stories are a testament to how much personal choice, perseverance, and human connection are needed in order to live and thrive!
