Self -Love: Kristyna Cochran
What is Self-Love ? Why is it important? How do you cultivate it? According to Merriam Webster, Self-Love is appreciation of one's own worth or value.

You are amazing , Psalm. 139:14. You are capable, Mark. 20:27. You are chosen 1. Thesselonians 1:4. You are never alone, Matthew 28:25. You are always loved , Romans 8:39.

I am sure that those students are not as innocent as it seems. BUT the teacher handled it the wrong way, and the kids behavior probably brought out some underline hate that the teacher was already harvesting. After you see students cuss out teachers as well as try to fight them, you realize that the system as failed as a whole from parents to the school board.
