After 10+ months together, the Eagles are clear that gifts come in many shapes and sizes. For some, a two-mile jog is a walk in the park.  For others, exhausting- mentally or physically.  After their run this morning, the Eagles checked their heart rates, knowing they would compare them to their resting heart rates later in the day.

Making the choice to take good care of your body is part of being on a Hero’s Journey.  And making the choice to know how to save a life is another- not for everyone, perhaps, but for this group, absolutely.

Congratulations to all 11 Eagles who passed the American Heart Association CPR test (for a school that’s not really into tests, it’s been quite a month- but viva the tests that matter)!

Heroes don’t need to actually be faster than a speeding bullet or more powerful than a locomotive, but our community is fortunate to be fortified with the knowledge that these scholars/adventurers are acquiring along the way.  Effort, understanding, accomplishment.

Learning to know, learning to do, learning to be.  Even in July.
