What would you do, if you had your kids with you and something so extreme happened, that could traumatize your children in the future? Would you, could you be in the right state of mind to think about something positive to do while something horrendous is happening around you? I read an article tonight that was so inspiring that I decided to share it here. As you know, parts of Mexico are having huge issues with gun fights and drugs, etc. Martha Rivera Alanis is a teacher in Monterrey, Mexico. Class was in session when a shootout began outside the school. Thinking of loud noises, those kids had to be scared. What she had them do was so amazing, so outside the norm and definitely brave that it makes me wonder if I could even do that. She had to be scared, right along with her kids. But she put them and their fears before her own and was probably even calmed herself. Please read this article. It is inspirational!
