Get in there and do something

3 WAYS TO LIVE

If you EXPECT a lot, you’ll get a lot!

If you PROVIDE an opportunity, some will take it.

If you MODEL it, people will respect it.

If you ASK, people will show up.

Are you dreaming big enough?

Yes..................or.......................No

Think about it, experiment with it

3 WAYS TO LIVE

The Student

“Want to know who the most important person in each individual students’ life is?”

“Just write a little somethin’ about yourself...”

The Faculty and Staff

“Want a chance to focus on something good out there?”

Say thanks to someone...

(*Google Search: “Jason Womack” “Thank you”)

An amazing way to begin each day.

1,330 results...I get to be the “thank you guy!”

The Family and Community

“Want to build someone’s self-esteem (and feel great in the process)?”

Accomplishment+Acknowledgment

• Just picked a student from each class (I taught 5 periods per day).

• With an average class size of 30,

I spoke to each student AND parent or guardian at least 3 times per year.

• Years later, I still hear about these phone calls...In a good way!

• Oh, total time investment: about 15 minutes each afternoon.

It’s not just WHAT you do...tonight write at least 10 answers to this question:

•Who...am...I?

•Your philosophy - “What do you believe:

•...about yourself?”

•...about your community?”

•...about your profession?”

•I wish I would have known sooner...

People want to be told what to do,but they really want to think they thought of it.

People want to be appreciated, but they really want to feel the appreciation is “real.”

People are inherently good, but they really remember and then interpret negative experiences.

Is it possible for you to make a difference?Yes..................or....................
