Mrs. McDonald stated, “A failure to plan is a plan to fail,” is a common phrase (author unknown). It is never too early to start planning for success but failing to prepare for the future is one sure way to end of somewhere you do not want to be. Mrs. McDonald ask the youths to identify their strengths and weakness on a sheet of paper. Later they discussed them and determined how the wrong motivation for school attendance can negatively impact academic achievement. She reminded them the importance of every instructional day is an opportunity to prepare for the future. Each year of school is another step on the ladder of success. Regular attendance, a cheerful outlook, adequate preparation, and consistent effort are leadership skills that help students reach each new level of academic achievement. If students can grasp this concept, they will get more out of their academic experience.
