Peter, Paul and Mary - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6x3mRbZo3k

 

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies my love
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command.

The first time ever I held you near
And felt your heartbeat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the world
And would last till the end of time my love
And would last till the end of time.

When it comes to writing, self-regulation allows kids to manage tasks and monitor progress (also called self-monitoring), among other key skills. And there are lots of self-regulation strategies that can help kids improve writing skills.

Helping teens find their purpose

http://hechingerreport.org/helping-teens-find-their-purpose/

Research and scholarship on “purpose” has gained momentum in recent years, converging from developmental psychology, moral philosophy, positive psychology and other directions. Its application to the world of adolescent education owes much to the work of Stanford psychologist William Damon, who, together with colleagues Jenni Menon and Kendall Cotton Bronk, developed this definition of purpose back in 2003: “A stable and generalized intention to accomplish something that is at once meaningful to the self and of consequence to the world beyond the self.”
