He wasn’t the smartest kid in school or the

most popular.

Jace Kelly knew he was nothing special.

Well, that’s what he  thought.

Jace woke up late on a

Monday morning, feeling sleepy

and ready to crawl back into bed.

He wondered if his mom would

believe he was sick if he coughed

during breakfast…

…it turns out she wouldn’t.

Jace, already in a bad mood,

couldn’t stand all of the questionshis little brother was asking him.

“Brady,” Jace whined. “Just stop  

talking. You are so annoying.”

As Jace was listening to his

mother’s angry voice, he couldn’t

help but feel a little sorry forsnapping at Brady...

…but he still couldn’t get out of his

bad mood.

To make matters worse, Jace had

to walk to his bus stop in the rain,

getting muddy water in his shoes.

By the time he arrived at school, h

was almost ready to POP.

Jace was so frustrated that he

ignored everyone who said “hi” to

him in his classroom.

Then, Jace looked in

his bookbag…

He forgot his homework!

As Jace sat outside his classroom door, he

knew he went too far.

After apologizing to his class and cleaning

up his books, Jace promised himself that he

would never get that angry again.

You see, Jace  WAS special.

1. Take deep breaths. 

2. Take a break. 

3. Talk to a friend. 

4. 

Exercise or play. 

5. 

Count to 10. 

6. 

Draw a picture.
