Life Is Tough But So Are YOU #centsofstyle Fashion Friday Story @centsofstyle

Disclosure: Cents of Style chose me to be one of their Fashion Friday Story bloggers; I received this shirt to feature. Post contains affiliate links. Opinions shared are mine.

A few days ago, I happened to come across something I haven’t opened in a while– my “Happy” folder.  It holds the notes, cards, and drawings students have given me over the years.  When I moved the file folder, a folded note fluttered out.  A student in my math class — at least 15 years ago — wrote it as a nomination for some type of award.  In the note, he expressed appreciation for my help as he struggled with math over the entire school year.  The note brought tears to my eyes; that student worked so hard to master difficult math concepts.  Words like this remind me how lucky I am to be a teacher. My students know I care about them, but they also need to know that they’re strong.  No matter what challenges they face, whether it be hardships at home or struggles at school, I want them to know that, just as my shirt reads, Life is tough, but so are you!

Sometimes students face terrible situations before they head to school.  Often, children feel unheard by the adults around them.  No one knows what the future will hold, and that uncertainty can be unnerving for young people.  Still, “Life is tough and so am I” confidence can carry my students through a great many difficulties.  That’s why I walk into school each day, fueled by caffeine and hope.  The comfort of this amazing, inspiring tee collection from Cents of Style helps me to spread a positive message to students.

Ready to spread your inspiration?  Check out the graphic tees at Cents of Style. I love the tee I received. It’s soft as can be, and the relaxed fit is as perfect for wearing with jeans as it is with a maxi skirt or, as shown here, palazzo pants.  The shirt I received has a vintage text print so it looks comfortably lived in.  The beautiful wine color stayed bold even with the two times I’ve already washed it.  It would make a wonderful gift, too!

Please share YOUR story of encouragement and inspiration! 

Thanks to Cents of Style for sending me this great tee.
