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

Reflection: I believe that this quote is trying to say that even though we all try to fit in, we can’t let that stop us from achieving the right thing. For example, I go to high school and if I am trying to be part of the cool kids, I have to be cruel to everyone and make fun of them. However, if I do, do that then, I have lost sight of my dignity and respect for others. we should always choose the right and fit in in your own  group, start a new one because you never know the victims’ real story. 

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 for their own ship; that they are in control. Control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, actions, goals, 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 initiative.

Choose the right!!!

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn't any walk in the park, either. In his book, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Convey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily”. How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life- changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn their principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Convey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

covey himself has done well by followinga parent's example. his dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 habits of highly successful people, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean's a chip off the old block, and no slacker. his own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. here are his seven habits and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:
