student success statements

" 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 
reflection:
I think this statement is trying to say that when you are thinking about things that are not important you forget about the things that are more important like for example you think a lot about how you are going dress to school than what you should be really thinking about how well you are going to do in the test for that day.
Many people get well dress just to impress their friends they should impress them by doing well in school and having good grades in every class.
 They think about what they should wear instead 

 when instead they should be worried about school


7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
Habits 4
4. Think Win-Win
Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your ten will learn to celebrate the accomplishment if others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat-buffet.
          Win-Win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.
          Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.
Choose the right!!

" you cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible."
-Ezra Taft Benson
 Reflection: 
this statement is trying to say when you are doing the wrong thing you would always feel bad about it when you do good you will always feel good about the thing s you do and it is not possible to do wrong and feel right about it. It will make you feel worse.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
Habit 3
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Habit three is about WILL and WILL NOT power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important thing in their lives. Putting first things first things first deal with things that are:
 Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the fours quadrants of time management.
Quadrant 1: things that are important and urgent.
Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent.
Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent.
Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent.
1.Important &urgent
2.important but not urgent
3.not important but are urgent
4. not important and not urgent
Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are;
1.    Control of your life
2.    Balance
3.    High performance
So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into Quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it

student success statement

"whether i fail or succeed shall be no man's doing nut my own. i am the force."
-Elaine Maxwell
Reflection:
what this statement is trying to say is that you are your own person you don't have to listen to what others tell you to do you do what you want not what others want you to do. you have the power to say no to people you have the power to never say yes to what you don't want to do or say no to what you don't what them to make you do. 



                                                                                

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 actions 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   assignments, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is proactive decisions. 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!!!!
