We began CMAS testing this past week at Shaw, and so we have slowed down our pace a bit in the YESS classroom to accommodate for the schedule. We did manage to fit in one more full lesson on Tuesday as we continued our discussions on beliefs by studying a flow chart that explains how limiting beliefs become self-full-filling prophecies (see picture).

| Changing limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs! |
We worked on identifying limiting beliefs and the consequential impact such beliefs have on our lives by studying events or circumstances that tend to trigger limiting beliefs. It was an emotional lesson as it can be quite uncomfortable to analyze such negative thoughts. It was, however, empowering when we were then able to take the limiting belief and turn it around so that became an empowering belief.

Once testing began, we spent our afternoons working on a more uplifting project called "13 Reasons Why NOT." This short art project asked each mentor and mentee to come up with 13 reasons why they are happy to be on this Earth. We used a circle map to brainstorm our ideas, which we then illustrated. Special shout out to Mrs. Sankovich at Scott Carpenter for the project idea!

Next week we will continue testing, and our mentors will be finalizing their leadership projects, which is very exciting!
