   - **Conclusion:** Affirming statement about learning and growing
   - **Visual Cue Suggestions:** After each paragraph, suggest [image/icon description] for picture-supported reading
3. Address [CHALLENGES] by reframing fears as temporary and manageable, never shaming
4. Use first-person ("I") or third-person ("Some students") based on what fits [LEARNER_PROFILE]
5. Highlight comfort phrases in **bold** for emphasis during reading
6. Include one "surprise" or "sometimes" sentence to account for variability
