Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement 
"So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the "in-group," we lose sight of things that are far more important." 
Sean Covey 

What this quote means is that we lose ourselves upon personal objectives to fulfill. We then lose what we intentionally intended to do. The human brain doesn't remember everything, so we lose track of what we had to do. So most humans seek popularity often forget about their real friends from the beginning. An example could be of my good friend Christian V. He was one of my best friends. He then tried out for basketball. And our friendship slowly faded. Now I see him only in my classes. I used hangout with him during lunch,  but now that he is part of the team I really don't anymore. So, he wanted to be in the "in-group" and he became popular. And we slowly still till this day, our friendship fades. So hopefully Christian V. you know who you are, I hope you actually read this and say "what's up!"

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens habit 1


7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

(By Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
