Returning To School In Person

Usually, the back to school period is either viewed as an exciting time or a dreadful time. This year, we are still facing a pandemic which has changed our lifestyles drastically. This current going-back-to-school period is going to be a whole lot different. 

Roundtables #27 – If you could look at the timeline of your mental health journey from a bird’s eye view, what would it look like? How does this perspective help you?

Caleb Izaguirre: Like my fellow team members, there isn’t a defined bird’s eye view of my mental health journey. The journey also hasn’t been linear as it has been either a cause of effect for a variety of moments in my life.

Roundtables #26 – Write a letter of forgiveness to yourself

Mikaela Brewer:

Dear Mikaela (February, 2017),

I forgive you for not knowing it all, and I forgive myself, now, disregarding the fact that hindsight is 20/20. 

I forgive you for thinking that you could carry all that you did, and for the ways in which that headstrong attempt impacts my body, mind, and spirit today. We still carry too much. We’ll learn one day, but I forgive you for not seeing this as a flaw that we should prioritize reconfiguring.
