Early on, we can learn to feel a certain way in a certain context. That can mess up our entire lives. Nowhere is that more powerful in the context of school than the feeling of stupid. Yep. Stupid is a feeling. It's the feeling of shame. The problem is that shame is the LEAST HELPFUL response to mistakes. It causes us to avoid them...which really causes us to repeat them again and again. As Hunter shares, we had to learn that lesson the hard way. You shouldn't have to and we're here to make sure that you learn this the easy way.
