Hall of Fame
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk48xRzuNvA&feature=player_embedded
Make a list of things that will make up your individual "Hall of Fame"...in other words, how will you know when you have 'made it'?
What are your own personal goals for life and your idea of what will be a successful future for you? Write about what you would like your future to look like. Include goals for the short term (this year, 2 years, etc.) and long term (5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now). Make sure to think about family, school, career, etc.

Create a 4 Square Chart on your notebook paper.
In each box, make a list of things that are important to you.

Listen to the Brad Paisley Song "Letter to Me" and compose a letter to yourself to read again at the end of the year. What advice would you give yourself? Consider the things you wrote about in the previous activities.

Make an "Expert List" AKA a list of ALL the things you are good at or could be considered an "Expert" about. List as many as you can come up with in the time provided.
My examples:
Teaching English, memorizing random movie and TV quotes, reading, being clumsy, school technology (sometimes), being a good listener, having fun with my friends, quoting Friends episodes, getting math problems wrong...
