GET. BACK. UP. There are going to be moments in life where you fall down. You don’t get the award you wanted, there is a financial set back, you have a fight with a friend or significant other, or maybe you feel there have been too many obstacles in your way on the path to your goal. In those moments, if you still dream of having that goal come true, you must, GET. BACK. UP. There will also be moments where you reach your goal, you feel accomplished, where you’re getting the praise and fulfillment from your goal that you’ve sought after for so long. It is also important in those moments to GET. BACK. UP. Celebrate the success, absolutely! But then set your sights forward, how will you continue to be better? What lessons will you take with you moving forward? The theme of Getting Back Up will be our final #Believe Initiative theme of the 2017/2018 school year. Over the next month I’m excited to share with you some Believe Ambassador stories of students who have chosen to get back up on their journey. For me and the Believe Initiative this season has been an incredible ride with so many mistakes made, lessons learned but also a ton to celebrate! No matter how this year has gone for you so far, I hope you remember to always #GetBackUp.

The Believe initiative led by Olympian Sarah Wells is a movement dedicated to driving success by teaching the importance of being resilient and fostering an unwavering belief in your dreams.

The program challenges people to make choices NOT sacrifices, relentlessly pursue past obstacles, and of course believe!
