On Tuesday, September 4, we had a whole-school assembly that was about Never giving up, Encouraging others, and Doing your best. That is what “NED” stands for, and the presenter explained this by doing magic tricks and yo-yo tricks. This assembly connected to our school theme by showing us to have a growth mindset, which means being open minded, having new ideas and being willing to learn. Our school theme is Mission Possible: Holiness, which means to be holy and one with God. One thing I learned from the assembly is to never give up and to always think about how you might not be able to do something YET, but you will eventually will. This means that you should never give up, you should keep trying because you will eventually achieve your goals.

The crowd’s response was serious at some points of the assembly, like when the presenter was explaining why he was there. But when he was doing his magic tricks and yoyo tricks, the crowd got excited and amused by the tricks. One of the most exciting parts of the assembly was when the speaker called up three students. One of the people called up was Autumn Burdine, a seventh grader at our school. Autumn said that when she got called up to the stage she was nervous and embarrassed, and I don't blame her, because I would be, too!  Autumn said that she learned “to never give up” from the assembly, and has continued to practice her yo-yo tricks ever since. All grades enjoyed this assembly and learned more about Growth Mindset and how anything is possible if you set your mind to it!
