The story of the Ugly Duckling resonates with all of us in some ways. We have or will face adversity in life and yet each of us is created in the image of God and as such have gifts that we are called to discover and develop.
So it is for Ugly – the little cygnet who discovers that he’s not an ugly duckling, but actually has the gift of being a swan and he uses his experience of adversity to bless others by remaining on the lake next to the duckyard. And so it was for all involved in HONK. Through this production, students learned that it takes hard work, repetition, listening to advice, encouragement and resilience to get the job done.
