While many celebrated Veterans Day, yesterday was also Poland's Independence Day. It is a national holiday commemorating the restoration of Poland's sovereignty in 1918, following 123 years of partitions by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. Across Poland, especially in Warsaw, the day is marked by military parades, patriotic events, and vibrant public celebrations. For our students from Poland, it's a sitdown with Sisters' Pride

Today's Sisters Pride, Whitney speaks about Self-love versus self-centeredness. She begins with self-love as a balanced appreciation for oneself, fostering empathy and respect for others.
