The Fear of Falling... Or Is It Failing?

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again; this time more intelligently.”
                                                                                                     -Henry Ford

By the time you read this article, I will have jumped out of plane that was flying 13,500 feet above the surface of the earth. This opportunity, made possible by the United States Army Golden Knights, provided me the chance to overcome a significant fear – namely, the fear of falling. Many people indicate that they have a fear of heights and while I initially believed that was a fear of mine as well, it turns out, my fear is based on the idea of falling from a high place… I have been in some of the highest places in the country from the Empire State Building to Mount Rainer; I have flown numerous times – and survived. It’s not the fear of heights that concerns me – it is more the fear of falling.

INTRODUCING THE GCMS ASCENT
Glenwood City Middle School Newsletter

The GCMS Ascent is a newsletter created during the Summer of 2018 in an effort to enhance the communication between Glenwood City Middle School and the parents with students in middle school. The initial issues of GCMS Ascent have been developed exclusively for parents of sixth graders, providing information that is geared toward minimizing the anxiety and stress that often accompanies the transition from elementary to middle school. The summer issues are being shared via traditional mailings and will archived on this webpage. Once the 2018-2019 school year begins, all issues will be shared via email and will be archived on this page as well.
