May 18, 2008 - Lesson 33

LESSON 33: Review the 7 Habits' with your family. Are there any Habits that seem to be more challeng­ing to you than others? How can you work as a team to incorporate all of the Habits into your lives?

I really need to prioritize. I enjoy procrastinating too much. Err.. well.. my parents can.. help me find out my hobbies etc. by signing up for various lessons for me (to find out what I might want to do when I grow up to "Begin with the end in mind").

May 32, 2008 - Lesson 32

Family Reflections: What concept or weekly lesson has your family most benefited from? Reflect on how it has been good for you and your family relationships.

Prioritize! Rawr. I need to learn to put first things first. Get my homework done beforeplaying computer. That way my parents don't need to get mad and stressed out. I won't need to get stressed out when tests are coming up and when assignments are due.

Pause. Stop myself from saying things I really don't mean to say.

Be Proactive instead of Reactive. Control my feelings and stop raging on and on when I'm angered. Do something useful to help.

May 3, 2008 - Lesson 30 & 31

Familey Reflections Lesson 30: What does your family do to renew and refresh the health of your relationships? Plan an outing or a family fun night.

We can have healthy dinners, go shopping together, go on trips together, go exercise (jogging) together, go to museums, etc. together. We might be going down to the states for some shopping time soon. =]

Lesson 31: Go around and rate each family mem­ber on how well you all renew yourselves in the four areas.

Mom: Socially/emotionally: 8.5, physically: 2, mentally: 8, spiritually: 7
Dad: Socially/emotionally: 6, physically: 7, metally: 6.5, spiritually: 5

April 26, 2008 - Lesson 29

Family Reflections: How can members of you family help you achieve better results in school?

Encouraging me, praising me when I do well, give me a goal to reach (ex - If I get 5 As, then we can go shopping.).

April 12, 2008 - Lesson 28

Family Reflections: Are there any unresolved issues in your home that could use some synergy? Walk through the steps to synergy or see if you can come up with a solutio that makes everybody happy.

Yes there are. Like.. a schedule of who gets to use the washroom first. Sometimes my dad is in there and it takes him FOREVER, and I'm in a hurry to get to school. So.. Maybe one of us can wake up earlier?

April 7, 2008 - Example of Synergy

Example of Synergy in Napolean Dynamite: Pedro didn't have a skit to go with his speech, so Napolean danced for him although he didn't really want to. Also, he helped Pedro create posters and posted them. : ]

April 5, 2008 - Mission Statement (for Pedro)

Haha.. after watching Napolean Dynamite, I've decided to write a Mission Statement for Pedro.

I want to run for Class President and win.
I want to ask a girl to the dance (preferably Debbie).
