Part II of the 8th Grade Coexistence Field Trip:  Naomi Shahib Nye

Words from Ms. Nye:
Peace begins with a smile--smile 100 times a day.
No one wakes up thinking, "I hope I get in a fight today."
We are people in a world of words.
Just write 3 lines a day.  They don't have to be great or earth shattering...just write 3 lines a day.
Our lives are full of losing and finding.  Losing and finding happens all the time.
You are lucky to live near the Mississippi River because you grew up knowing the sense of flow.
In life, look both ways.
Write letters.
 

Ms. Navarro, Ms. Nye, & Ms. Jensen
