Back To School Tips for Teens
Back to school can be tough when you don't want to be there. I have some tips for teens heading back to school.
Watch the video and have a discussion with your class or someone you know. Below, there are some suggested questions or writing prompts.
Heading back to school can be daunting. I want to challenge you in three ways:
Show up.
Do your best.
Forget the rest.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION:
What does it mean to you to show up, do your best, and forget the rest?
Are you showing up and doing your best? Why or why not?
In what ways are you showing up and doing your best?
In what ways are you NOT showing up and doing your best? What can you do to change that?
Do you view your education as an investment in your life? Why or why not?
Do you compare yourself to others? Does that comparison motivate you to do your best? Why or why not?
