High School Student 

wins

Extreme "Sportsmanship" award

from U.S. Olyimpic Comittee

 Jenna Huff was in a cross country race with fellow competior Deb Guthman. They were both side by side but Guthman was slightly ahead. When they were racing when Deb stops after 3 miles of running because she was hurt. When Jenna sees Deb hurt she doesnt see it as advantage to win but more like a chance to help someone. Jenna stops to help Deb instead of thaking advantage. She helped Deb cross the finish line and still made her get in front to win the race. For that act of good sportsmanship she was rewarded with the "Extreme Sportsmanship Award" from the U.S. Olympic Comittee.

Reflection

I think Jenna did the right thing even though she could have passed Deb or crossed the finish line before Deb, She let  her go in fron of her to win. I Think that show good sportsmanship.

Habit 7

Part 2

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

3)   Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations with in your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass- it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives you directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need trod.

4)   Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Helen Keller

It is true because when you work alone you get a little bit done but in groups it can lead to success. Working with others can help because your weakness in something can be a strength for another person you working with and the other way around. So its right 2 heads are better than one.

Habit 6

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone.  Through this habit teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly solo in life. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you will go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist; it’s all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create better than each could alone. No instrument is more important over another, Just different.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Students

Habit 5

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 any given discussions or ideas of both parties can arrive at mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone wins/ 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 people and want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. The belief is that there is plenty of success to go around. It’s not either me or you it’s the both of us. It’s an all you can eat buffet. Win- Win creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win is the good feeling it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Thinking Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings. Win-Win will fill you heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you up with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.
