Annalynn June and Maggie did a fantastic job presenting from Things I Wish I Knew Yesterday by Craig Lindvahl!
They reminded us that repetition is a good thing. And yes—another round of the classic telephone game proved it! It was hilarious hearing how the message changed from person to person 😂, but it also reinforced a powerful truth: repetition helps us prepare for what’s ahead and strengthens our skills over time.
Maggie made it personal by sharing how repetition has helped her grow in gymnastics and cheer. Her insight was clear—you can’t move on to the next level until you’ve done well where you are. Real growth doesn’t happen overnight; it happens through consistent effort again and again.
Kailyn and Meadow closed out the day with a bold statement: “Quit is the ugliest word.” They asked a simple but honest question—Who’s ever wanted to quit? Every hand went up, opening the door for real and vulnerable conversation.
They reminded us that while there are moments when stepping away may be necessary, there are also times when you have to push through. Kailyn shared her personal story of quitting when things got hard and how it impacted her relationships, leading to regret and disappointment. Her message was powerful—be careful about quitting, because you can lose more than you gain.
Proud of each of you for your honesty, growth, and willingness to challenge us all to keep going, even when it’s not easy.
