Re: The Fancy Sticker (The Power Of Having Something Like That)
Years ago during Sars I believe I was not eligible at first to get the shot. Was going to take a few months. I was teaching then and went into a School to teach Grade 2 for a few weeks. During this time they allowed the kids to get the shots and included the staff members We got them before classes started.
I received a Fancy and Colorful Sticker saying I had received the shot. If I had gotten it anywhere else probably would not have worn it but the Kids who were getting the shot were scared. So I greeted them at the door to the classroom with the sticker front and centre on my shirt.
When the kids came in many were Bug Eyed seeing it. When we got settled in we had a discussion about getting the shot how some people were scared etc. Many Told me I was Brave and some asked if I Cried. *chuckle
When they went to get it some were more relaxed after the discussion about it but some were stilll scared but went ahead knowing if the Teacher had done it they could too. Each of them got a sticker and that was the "Hit of The Day"
After we took some time off from lessons (about a 1/2 hr) to play games to celebrate getting it and for Being Brave. Most could not wait to get home and tell their family members about the shot and the games they played. What started off as a very stressful day for some turned into a good experience and many wore that Sticker for Days afterwards
