Because you are more than grades, Sailors!
Dear Scouts,
It is difficult to accept rejection but don’t worry, there is something even better around the corner waiting for you.
You deserve to be treated with respect.
Ever since I got sick, I noticed others have not been treating me with respect, and frequently talk down to me. I know this happens to a lot of people. I promise you, everyone deserves to be treated with respect. You are valued and loved.

I’d like to thank elegantmess-southernbelle for this contribution.
Dear Sailor Scouts,
I haven’t been able to be here as often as I’d like to since I’ve just started my master’s and it’s turned out to be quite time-consuming.
Anyway, do you remember me being worried about the master’s? Well, it’s been INCREDIBLE!!!! So, if you feel not sure about whether to start a new project or to make your dreams come true (maybe because you feel insecure or afraid), take it easy! everything will be ok; actually, the most difficult part is to start, but I’m sure you are going to make it.
You deserve to celebrate your accomplishments.
Sometimes, people try to diminish the accomplishments of others, or we tell ourselves our accomplishments aren’t really that big. However, any positive step is something that deserves to be celebrated. Don’t let them get you down, and acknowledge your success however you see fit!
Thank you for your encouragement, dear Sailor Scouts, it made me feel better. I appreciate your believing in me, don’t forget that I believe in you, too!
I’ve brought you this positive message today: You may think you need more beautiful hair, a slimmer complexion, a taller body, brighter eyes, longer legs, etc., but what you really need is to be aware of how beautiful you are just because you are a human being.
Society has made us believe we fit into a given category depending on certain traits. In reality, we are not a bunch of physical characteristics. Don’t let anybody label you as a physical characteristic.

Hello, dear Sailor Scouts. I’m here today to let you know a little bit about me.
I’m about to start a Master of Applied Linguistics, actually it starts on August 10th. Although I’m excited as I really like language and everything that has something to do with it, I can’t help feeling nervous and kind of afraid. It must be that it is a new experience but I also feel that I won’t make it, I’ve heard doing a master’s degree is really difficult.
It’s strange that you can be confident and insecure about something at the same time. Although I succeeded in the admission process (there were 60 applicants and only 11 were accepted), I also feel afraid of failure.
All in all, I guess that what is important is not fear but what we do with it. I’ll face this challenge however daunting it is. It’d be a terrible idea to say ‘no’ to this opportunity just because I’m not that self-confident but I have to admit it, I’m terrified and it is OK as long as I don’t sabotage myself.
We are all afraid at times, it is normal and we shouldn’t be ashamed about admitting it. We are not alone!
I’d really appreciate your comments. I hope this experience will help anybody in a similar situation.

Keep it in mind, Sailor Scout, you are the most important person in your life
When your happiness starts to rely on any person, achievement or outcome (or a fragile combination of these) then you may start to realise that you’re emotionally dependent. It’s not an easy thing to discover about yourself, nor is it your fault but it is a challenge which is vital to address.
It takes great courage to learn how to overcome emotional dependency but it’s worth doing so that you feel more in control of your life. Becoming gradually more independent and less attaching takes time and practice but it can be done.
You may feel you are weak and a bit of a crybaby but I’m proud of you because of the many things you have gone through
Always speak to yourself in the same way you would speak to a good friend who is in need of support and encouragement. You would never call them names or say mean things to them, so don’t use self-talk to do those things to yourself either!

Recognize your self-worth and work on improving your self-esteem, which can be through focusing on positive thoughts about yourself, realizing your limitations and your achievements, working on goals, helping others and doing what makes you feel better. Accept your decisions and realize you are capable of doing what’s best for yourself (and get help if you’re not capable).
You deserve a good day.
You’ve come a long way, and I’m proud of you.
