BE THE BEST
September 10, 2007
“BEING THE BEST I CAN BE”
This project is about yourself: goals, family & friends, responsibilities, and ideas about looking at the present, into the future, and as well as remembering the past.
There are FIVE parts:
MISSION/GOAL
– Who has influenced your life? How?
- What are some of your talents?
- What is an experience that you remember?
- What would you like to do by the time you graduate from Galileo? By the time you are twenty one?
- How would you like people to describe you?
** How do you want your high school experience/years to be like? What kind of person would you like to be?
ROLES
- - Who are four people that are important to you?
- - How are these four people a part of your life? (sister/brother, parent, cousin, neighbor, friend, etc.)
- - For each person, what can you do with this person that will be a positive relationship? (think of what you’ve done with these people)
VALUES
- If you have an afternoon to do anything you could, what would you do-how would you spend the afternoon? Play sports? Have lunch with friends? Finish homework? Read a book? Go online? Do “whatever?”
- - What you decide shows values-what’s important to you, how you see what’s going on, what you believe in!
How you spend your time often shows what’s important to you.
Make a list of things you value (two or three examples)
RESPONSIBILITY
- What is one improvement you can make for yourself in school?
- What is one improvement you can make for yourself outside of school?
What can you do that will help you to make one of the improvements ?
(One important part of responsibility is to keep commitments & promises as best you can!)
TIME FOR YOURSELF – RENEW YOUSELF
What could you do to relax and do something for yourself?
