Re: Wake Up, Life's Happening!

Hi Chuck! Thank you so much for all you do; it was a CD from you that first got me thinking differently 3 years ago. You don't know me, but I'm from Team-Monavie in Atlanta, and my upline said you might be interested in something I'm doing:
I work as a high school English teacher, and one of my classes is non-college-prep seniors. I was told they needed to do a "senior paper," but I really wanted it to be useful to them (and these kids are so sick of "career research," plus I didn't want to join in the chorus that says if they get a good job life will be great). So, my students are writing a "Purpose Paper!" And the first paragraph in each paper is the student's mission statement, based on your talk in Kentucky(?) last year. We actually watched part of the DVD in class!
After the mission statement, they have to write specific, measurable goals, a plan for achieving them, and then in the end tie everything back together, explain how those goals will help them live out and become what they wrote in their mission statements.
Most of my students have never thought this way before, and I think that, at least for a few of them, this paper might really make a difference. Thanks so much; you're an inspiration to more than you know!
