During the month of November, Be A Senator is highlighting gratitude as our character focus. Senators show gratitude by having a grateful attitude and being thankful toward others. Studies show that teens who practice gratitude daily can improve social connections, increase their self-esteem and reduce depression and anxiety. Make it a daily habit by finding 3 things that you are grateful for each day. Have a great week from Be A Senator.
