Climb On!

So not to long ago, we had an inspirational speaker come to my high school. His name was John Beede. Of course we all thought it would be a boring assembly. I would to beg differ! He taught us 4 success strategies. I want to share them with you because they have helped me...

THE CLIMB ON! Strategies for Success

1.Pick a Summit

2. Gear Up

3. Ascend It

4. Leave it Better Than You Found It.

He then had us write down a list of goals we wanted to accomplish. Here are two of mine...1) Get a A in English. 2)Make a A on an English test. English is very hard for me. Well I used these strategies. My Summit was to, well make a A in English and a A on an English test. I geared up by always being prepared. To Ascend, I studied hard, and I always paid attention. And I did the 4th step by helping my English teacher.

Well, we got our grades today....I'm pleased to tell them to you...

*Government Honors(a SENIOR class)- 91% B

*Spanish I-95% A (the highest grade in my class!!)

*Biology I Honors-101% A :) (future doctor in training here)

*Algebra II-96% A (the highest grade out of all my teacher's classes!)

I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT MY ENGLISH GRADE IS A 93!!! THAT'S an A! I jumped up and down you guys! I'm pretty much the happiest girl in the world!

*Oh, and John Beede has a book.... "Climb On!" Its a great book, and he gets the points across by a story. You can buy a copy on his website.*
