Improving who we are

One of the best aspects of life is that we are always moving forward. There's always a next day or a next moment. As people we have to try each day to improve our actions and habits. I think it's important we try to have a positive influence on each other. Positive actions lead to positive results. I want to us to start to live our lives proactively vs reactively. To be reactive is to have a response to a stimulus. Proactive is essentially to prepare for a stimulus. I want us to be proactive in providing a positive environment in our community. Here is how we are gonna do this. Each week I will give you a different group, and you then in turn have to perform an act of kindness to someone who fits in that group. Your first assignment is through the next week I want you to do something nice for your teachers. It can be as small as pick up a paper for them, help by passing papers out. If you really like teacher tell them you appreciate them or thank them. A little bit of kindness can start a chain reaction. I want you to respond to this blog telling me what you have done for what teachers. I know that students tend to think I run hard practices with a lot of conditiong so this is what I'll do. I will check and the person who has the nicest action or the most actions will get a "get out of 1 conditioning drill card."

"Character is doing the right thing when no one is looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to just get by, and the only thing wrong is to get caught." J.C. Watts

I also want you to think about this quote and see if there is a way you can work on your character or how it may apply to you.
