Good stories catch our attention, make us want to listen, and stick with us.\u0026nbsp; Have you noticed how students perk up when you say, \u0026ldquo;Did I ever tell you about the time when I\u0026hellip;.?\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA story, especially when it is a personal story, can also show how even successful people encounter challenges, make mistakes, persevere, and move forward. Something that initially appears to be an obstacle can become manageable when we frame it in a new narrative. Telling your story can create a shared experience that is much more powerful than offering your students abstract advice.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERecently President Peterson\u0026rsquo;s Taskforce on Mental Health recommended that we find ways to signal to students that there is more than one path to success, that \u0026ldquo;atypical pathways\u0026rdquo; may not be as uncommon as students perceive, and that it\u0026rsquo;s ok to ask for help.
