For the Word of
the Week, let's focus on "compassion." *Compassion* is an
incredibly valuable characteristic that's based on the principle of empathy, or
the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. It's a selfless
and kind expression of concern for others that involves caring for the welfare
of others beyond one's own needs. Do you know someone who's really
compassionate? It's amazing to recognize and celebrate the compassionate people
who make a positive difference in the world through their kindness and empathy.
It's a valuable character trait that enhances our interactions.
