2/23/24 Morning Announcements - In order to show our trait of the month, acceptance, you must also be able to show empathy. Empathy is the ability to be aware of the feelings of others and imagine what it might be like to be in their position (or in their shoes). Empathy is a key ingredient in positive friendships and relationships. If you can practice empathy towards others, acceptance will follow.
