Examples Of Overcoming Obstacles

Decent Essays
As I grew up as child I had to face a lot of difficult obstacles. No it wasn’t easy but, I prevailed. As each obstacle appeared I always had some type of light to guide the way, and I’m 100% thankful. I know now that obstacles are hard to overcome but, I know it can be done.

    Restorative Justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused by inappropriate behavior. It began in the criminal system, but this paper looks at how Restorative Justice can be implemented in a K-8 school setting. In school settings, Restorative Justice gives students a model of managing conflict implicitly rather than having conflict managed explicitly for them by adults. It empowers students with the skills needed to solve their own conflicts on their own or in small groups. Having only reached school communities in the United States within recent years, Restorative Justice is helping to strengthen campus communities, decrease scenarios of bullying, and reduce conflicts among students.…

    When thinking of a tree, it is easy to imagine a strong plant, established firmly into the soil, with a thick substantial trunk and vast outreaching branches.
