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

I strongly agree with this statement because it is very true. Many of us just focus on being popular and wanting to fit in but they don’t look at what is more important and that is of just being you and choosing the right. Many teens for example just want to fit in with the cool people and everything they see that is cool they want to do it to. So for instance if the cool people are doing drugs the people that want to fit in want to do drugs too because they might think it’s cool and that way they can become part of the popular kids group. So what this statement is saying that we just forget to pay attention on what really matters in life just to be cool but its you’re success and future that counts not being popular. You should never be a follower instead of being a leader and encouraging people to choose the right and not try to do bad things with the popular kids. Therefore, being popular doesn’t matter you should always go with what your heart says and choose the right!

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

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 the 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,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a 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.
