Hello. I’m Jim Stewart from Oklahoma City, US. I started a nonprofit with a free anti-bullying and character building curriculum called Heroes in Waiting. It is housed in our website and recently with the help of @Jason Scott found Skool. @Danni Armstrong was our first to join. We’ve been friend ever since. I have lost a son to suicide and now have many friends who I call friends and are a member of a club I’d rather not be a member of. Most enjoyable place I’ve been to are the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, US. The most memorable places I’ve been are several different countries in Africa. So glad to be here and looking forward to learning from and sharing with other like-hearted friends.

I am an English born Australian. This will be my 24th year here in QLD and I believe this is the best place to live. My favourite place to be is a difficult choice but out in nature- rugged mountainous scenery or calm and green forests or golden sunny beaches. If I am with family I am in heaven. The photo is of part of North Cornwall’s coastline. Spectacular on sunny days and ferociously beautiful on stormy ones. I loved living in Cornwall- it’s z beautiful place. When I was young I never really experienced bullying myself but I witnessed it with my friends- they were often too scared to walk to class on their own. My younger sister was bullied at school and I eventually had to step in. In those days a show of strength worked, but that is no longer an acceptable response. As a mum, I witnessed the pain bullying caused my children and helping them navigate this was challenging. Now as a teacher I see bullying too often at school and even with our best efforts it can be difficult to stop. This is a great platform to share experiences and strategies to help those who have struggled or who are now. We are here in this community to support, guide and give strength. Saying NO to bullying together will strengthen our message and resilience. Thank you Danni for the community.

Okay. I’m going to try to learn this process along with you @Arthur Maddocks-Brown I live in Oklahoma City, US and @Jason Scott and I are great friends. Although I have him by about 30 years, he is my Skool Builder and Trainer. I am the founder of Heroes In Waiting and our goal is to make available for any student or anybody free anti-bullying and character building curriculum. Here we go.
