Hope Focus: Aces of Success
"Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story."
~ Josh Shipp
This month, our hope focus is on the Aces of Success.
In many card games, aces are the cards to have. They are of high value, trumping other cards in the deck, and are often what is needed for a winning hand.
Kids at Hope have very special people in their lives called "aces." There are four kinds of aces, each one represented by an ace in a deck of cards:
- Ace of Hearts: Anchor Parent
The one who loves you unconditionally and cares for you 24/7/365. - Ace of Spades: High Expectations
The one who sees your potential and pushes you beyond what you think you're capable of because they believe in you that much. - Ace of Diamonds: Opportunities to Succeed
The one who appreciates your talents, skills, and intelligence, and gives you opportunities to use them and be successful. - Ace of Clubs: Other Caring Adult
The one who sees the good things in you and that you know you can count on for any help.
Even though these relationships can be very different, they all have one thing in common: an unconditional belief in a child's potential and unwavering support to help them succeed.
To those who have aces: Take some time to reflect on your aces. How do they show they care about you and believe in you? What is a word of wisdom or encouragement they have given you that you think of when faced with a challenge?
To those who are aces: What an incredible privilege and deep responsibility you have to our children and youth. Because of you, a child feels loved, important, and capable. What can you do to continue to teach our children how to hope?
Hope is Measurable and Teachable
Kids at Hope Have Strong Character!
