Are you struggling with motivation? Are you not sure what you want to do? Who do you want to be? How do you master a skill? How can you achieve balance in your life?

These are great questions and very relevant to a young teenager who is learning to take on the world. This course starts the process of giving a young person a "backpack" for life.

Students will learn how to make effective decisions. They will learn how to make and keep promises. They will learn how to be proactive and not reactive. They will learn about the private victory. Students will become excited about everyday life and taking responsibility for their decisions and what they can create in their lives. They will master the skill of setting and achieving goals and start the process of creating long term healthy habits.

How will this class be taught?
This class will be an interactive class. Questions and interaction is encouraged. We will be following The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens as a base. However the lessons are broken down into a more concise and focused form. There will be slides and video clips and students will have the capacity to interact and discuss their learnings with each other.

No background knowledge required.
