Happy finals week, Beavers! You’re so close to the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know this is a challenging time for many students, which is why I thinks it’s a great opportunity to remind you that you are important and valuable<\/em><\/strong>– depite how the end of the term shapes up for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When life is weighing me down and I feel ‘less than’, I like to remind myself of Claudia A. Howard’s Laws of Human Worth, described below by these 5 axioms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. All have infinite, eternal, and unconditional <\/strong>worth as people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. All have equa<\/strong>l worth as people. Worth is not competative or comparative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Externals neither add to nor diminsh worth. Externals include things like money, looks, performance, and achievements. Worth as a person is unchanging<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Worth is stable <\/strong>and never in jeopardy (even when someone rejects you).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Worth doesn’t have to be earned or proved. It already exists. Just recognize, accept, and appreciate it. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
