Viens no maniem mīļākajiem mirkļiem, strādājot ar vidusskolniekiem, bija kad vecākās klases skolēni sagatavoja jaunākos skolēnus uz Ēnu Dienu ar viņu ieteikumiem no savas pieredzes. Tas, kas izskanēja visskaidrāk no pilnīgi visiem bija: 'Tik cik tu pats no sevis ieliksi šajā dienā, tik tu arī dabūsi pretīm. Jo vairāk tu prasīsi jautājumus un iesaistīsies notiekošā, jo atvērtāks tu esi un jo lielāku interesi un zinātkāri tu izrādi, jo vairāk tu iegūsi no šīs dienas. Tava pieredze būs galīgi atkarīga no sevis paša, tā tad nekautrējies un esi drosmīgs!' Šie vārdi bija sirds sildoši, jo protams, tas ir ko mēs viņiem bijām jau teikuši vairākus gadus, un viņi paši bija sapratuši šo vārdu patiesību - tik cik tu pats no sevis ieliksi un dosi, tik tu arī dabūsi pretīm.
One of my favorite moments working with highschoolers was when the senior class was sharing advice with freshmen in preparation for their first Shadow Day from their own past experiences. The top piece of advice that clearly resonated from each and every senior was: 'You will get as much out of the day as you put into it. The more questions you ask and the more actively you participate, the more open you are and the greater interest and curiosity you show, the more you will gain from this day. Your experience will be completely up to you, so be brave and don't be shy!' This was so heartwarming to hear because of course this was exactly what we'd been telling them for years and they had learned the truth behing these words - you will always get as much out of an experience as you willing and courageous enough to put in.
In life, you will get in return as much
As you are able to give from your whole heart and soul.
It will be exactly as you decide:
As much as you give, you will receive in return.
