1) NOTES
ReplyDelete2) The video is telling us to always be positive and never give up. It tells us that if we don't have a purpose for something we'll never do it. Finally, it tells us to finish everything we do.
3) For me this means that I have to be mentally and physically strong to take on anything that comes my way. It also means to finish everything I do strong and give my 120% with everything I do. It tells me if I'm optimistic about my future I can achieve big things. If you feel like quitting think about something or someone you love to motivate you. Finally, it tells me to have friends that inspire me not bring me down.
4) This matters because a lot of people never want to finish anything. They are not dedicated to something and they don't care if they fail. With this kind of attitude you will never get far in life. Being positive having a purpose and being dedicated will get you far no matter what. It doesn't matter if you start week but you have to finish strong.
I can apply this to my life for I can be focused and give my 120% day in and day out. To do good in school and spots. I could do this for when I think of quitting i motivate myself to be strong and not give up. With a strong mentality I can go to a good university and potentially play professional soccer. I need to have good role models to look up to and never give up on my dream. This is how I can apply it to my life.

2. You have to be able to commit to something if you want to succeed at it. You also don't have to start strong, but its better to finish off strong. Also have a "why" for things. For example have a "why" to motivate you to do things.
3. To me this video can mean many things. First I believe it is telling me to stay in school. Always push yourself to do good in school and stay in it. Most importantly you have to commit to doing something. Don't do things without applying any effort or commitment and expect something from it in return. The video can also mean be positive. Don't think negatively.
4. This video can ultimately matter in many ways. One, it can be applied to schools nationwide. Thousands maybe even millions of students are dropping out of school. The thing is, they're dropping out of school because of problems that are so avoidable. I feel that the video encourages students to stay in school. It also gives the audience the motivation to do something. This can result in motivating students to stay in school. This is why the video can matter to our nation's school system.
The video can also matter to the daily lives of some people. Many people try new things and don't apply enough effort and then end up failing at it. The reason to this is because they don't commit to it or put enough effort into it. This is why modern day society isn't advancing fast enough. The reason why we aren't advancing enough is because we aren't trying hard enough to do something better that will benefit our society. That is why this video can ultimately matter to us.
However I can also apply this videos concepts to my life. A few ways that I am able to apply this videos concepts to my life is by being able to work harder. For example I feel that I can try a little harder in school. Something I admit that I do a lot is procrastinate about doing things. Whether if its studying for a test or simply doing homework. I procrastinate about it too much. This is something that I feel that I can improve on and prevent from happening.

2. Find a reason to push you to succeed. Your past doesn't have to determine your future.When you have a reason why it makes you work even harder.
3. Redemption,restore,and return means a curtain thing in my opinion. Redemption means to redeem yourself. Restore means to restore yourself from your past. Return means to look back at who you used to be and be thankful.
4. This matters because you cant let your past shape your future.
1.Watch the video
ReplyDelete2. What I thought this video meant is to have hope. Even if there are times when you feel like you won't do any good, just be true to yourself and move on.
3. Based upon my understanding, what I believe this video means is to think about the ones you care about most and use them as motivation to be successful. Also, have a value system to keep you on track. One thing that stood out to me is when E.T stated, "you don't have to start strong but finish strong. This shows that finishing strong could lead to major success in life. This is what I think about the video.
4. This matters to me because I can relate this to my life in a way. For example when I have in my elementary years, I would always get bad grades because I didn't really see no point on trying in school. By middle school I matured more and realize that you need as much education as possible in order for you to achieve your goals. As E.T said even though you dropped out of school that doesn't mean it's completely over for you. It just means you need to step up your game. This is why this video matters to me.
2) What the video is trying to tell us is you got to finish school. this video was also showing us nthat no matter what you go through just keep pushing yourself.
ReplyDelete3) Based upon my understanding this means that don't just go to school to have fun go for your love ones. Don't just worry about your past worry about what might happen. You can create anything.
4) This matters to me because i can make it happen. People tell me all the time that your not going to be nothing but i can prove them wrong. this can relate to me because i am pretty sure everybody go through something. Not only that don"t let no one try to put you down just keep doing you. Your teenage years only last for so long. Just take pride in what you do. Keep pushing till you reach your goal.

2. We can be successful but we just have to believe in ourselves. Focus on the positive and not on the negative. It doesn't matter if we don't start strong but we have to finish strong.
3. Based upon my understanding, this video means a lot of things to me.This means that no matter the obstacles that come to you, you need to overcome them. You need to have a value system to believe in yourself. This also means that you can find many other opportunities to succeed but never give up. Anything you want is possible only if you would just believe.
5. This matters in many ways. This can help people who are about to make a bad decision to turn back and make the correct one. This can also help young kids in high school who want to fail to stop and get back up. If you have a negative attitude you will never get far in life. This can change people's lives by motivating them.
I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better in many ways. This will keep me motivated to do good in school. This will help me have a strong and positive mentality for everthing I do. I will work harder and give my 100% to everything I do. If I fail, I will get back up.

2. If you don't see the positive in your life, you won't get the positive result you want. You always have to strive and work hard for what you want. Never give up. Always chase your dreams.
3. Based on my understanding this means to not dropout of high school or give up on anything. No matter how hard the situation may be. You always have to try. If you don't try them you won't succeed. Make the rest of your life matter. Make it better than your past.
4. This maters, because there are many people who always give up and dropout, because they think they can't do it. Or, there is a difficult situation. There is help now. They can get the help they desperately need now. It's called the National Dropout Prevention Conference.
I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better by supporting the dropout prevention cause. I can see that it is very helpful. There are many people with issues and I'm sure they would be very happy to have this help. There are many resources for them as well. I'm sure they are very happy and grateful.

#1) WATCHED THE VIDEO.
#2) In this video Eric talked about his experience at the Dropout Prevention Conference, which was an event that had speakers talk to people to try and prevent them from dropping out. While talking about his experience at the conference, he told us about his life and gave us advice on how to be successful in life.
#3) By watching this video I learned that anything is possible when you try. There are those times when you are doing something and then you just wonder why am I doing this, then you realize your "why," which is your purpose of doing the task you're doing. For example I wonder why I have to go to school, then I realize that my "why," for going is my future. My future means everything to me because if I choose to not go to school and be a lazy person then I will not be successful in life.
#4) Knowing this lesson is important because it will help people understand what that it doesn't matter where you come from that will make you successful it's the effort you put forth is. In the video it mentioned that Eric's books has helped students learn and be motivated to continue their education. The lesson we learned in this video and the other videos he has made can help us be successful in life. Knowing that if we keep believing we can create anything motivates us to continue on and trying in our life to be successful.
Taking this lesson and applying to my life will benefit me and motivate to keep doing what I am doing now, so I won't be a failure in life. If I am ever thinking on why I do certain tasks and I remember that I have a purpose then that will help me move forward and try my best to be successful. If I just believe that I am capable of being successful in those tough times in my life, will help me benefit my life for the best. We should all just remember that we should make the rest of our life the best of our life. All of us have purposes for the things we do today and we should continue on and try to be successful in life.

1.Watched Video
ReplyDelete2.Throughout the video,it refered to many different topics that ET ,the speaker, had accomplished or even help others obtain.In the beginning,he talked about his value system of "redemption,restore,and return."He also gives an example for each of the systems he mentioned.
3.Based on my point of understanding,this source can mean many things.One of the things it can mean upon my view, is that having a system of things that are needed for success can help you move on to the next challenge in life .In the video,ET refers to his system which is redemption,restore and redeem.Another thing it can mean,is that some people decide to look at there future but only think about why they are doing it instead of actually trying to improve themselves.However,there are many other meanings to this video based on my view.
4.Applying this message to your daily life and knowing how it matters can help you improve or even motivate you to continue.Some people may see this as something bad being told or shown to them.Other may see the message as something motivational and continue to listen or watch.In the video, ET mentioned that he had fear of success.Other people look up to his motivational videos and they have amazing success.
The message provided throughout the video by ET can matter in many different ways.One of the ways it matters is that people who probably don't have a value system won't be able to advance later on the future.But if you have a value system,you could have a better chance of move forward and being on the path to finishing something.Another of the ways it can matter,is by not having your education level based on having to do it even though you don't like it.Knowing the ways it matters to some people,you can apply it better to your life.
I can apply the concept to my every day life in many amazing ways.One of the ways si can apply is by creating some sort of map that will help me move forward and advance to my success.Another way is by looking into the future and creating my own path with unique opportunities .I will be able to focus on my dreams using motivation from the people I care for.One of the other ways,is by not looking at something just from one side and actually looking at it for what I want to accomplish in life.Just like ET says,"If you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe,you'll be successful."

2. This video was showing how ET went from nothing to something. Its showing anything is possible as long as you believe. He is also trying to say don't dropout of school and if you do, its still not too late. You just have to put in the work even if you think its impossible.
3. To me this means that even if your in a bad situation in your life, you could make it better. Even if you already failed, you can try again. There shouldn't be any excuses to not succeed. All you gotta do is believe and hope because those things are magical. If you mess up you can redeem yourself, then restore things, the finally return back.
4. This is important because people think because that they start off with nothing that they will end with nothing. ET is showing them he did a lot starting with a little. He is saying you could do anything if you believe. People need to know there should be no excuses. If you want to succeed then you will but that's only if you really want to.
This can also matter because people start things and don't finish. And most of the times they don't finish because they get discouraged. Another reason they don't finish is because they procrastinate. If they believe and put in effort instead of those things they have a higher chance of succeeding. Quitting is never the answer and if you do you gotta redeem yourself.
I can apply this to my life to make it better in a couple of ways. I could try a little harder in school and know not to quit. Let's say I think it's too late to get my grade up, I could believe and achieve it. I could stop procrastinating about things as well. I will put my 110% in everything and no excuses as well.

ReplyDeleteWatched video.
ReplyDeleteDon’t give up no matter the obstacles. Strive to be successful if you want others to cooperate with you. Redemption, restore, return.
This means that you must change your mindset from negative to positive. Say I can, I will, and I must. The power of belief and hope is magical. If you want to work with people, you must work hard and strive for the same goal. Don't follow other people's footsteps, create your own and work to be better than those before you.
This matters because people don't have a positive mindset. Everyone has a negative mindset and will give up if they fail once. If you want to be strong, you must get back up and grind. That's how other people will see you. Then that will inspire them to want to work with you. If your predecessors were all bad examples, then you'll be a bad example like them. That's why people change for the best and make their future better. Believe in yourself. You can do anything, as long as you're ready to work and grind. If you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful. You can apply this to your life by always thinking positive and not negative. As long as you put effort, you can do anything. Never give up no matter the obstacles. Your effort will get you noticed and people will lend a hand to help you or to work with you. Create your own footsteps that you feel you will be successful with. As long as you believe in magic, then you'll witness it.
1 Notes.
ReplyDelete2. To me this video showed me how much one decision can mess up your whole future. Eric Thomas dropped out of school in his last year. He ended up homeless but he did not give up he knew he could turn his life around.
3. Based upon my understanding this means that everything has a second chance in life and not to stop just because you messed up the first time. You can still succeed and it is okay to fail. That is what this video showed me.
4. This matters because when I ever become stressed out or feel like quitting I can relate to this video and it will make me want to keep pushing. I don't want to fail but I know it is a part of life. I want to finish school and then not stop but keep on pushing. I know how important school is and it is my only job right now.
I think if Eric Thomas finished school he would have been successful maybe in another way. But his motivation kept him going and he is now traveling around the world. Eric Thomas did what most of you guys would call, The Impossible.
Finally I think quitting will never have a good outcome. When you commit yourself to something go for it and at no chance do you want to stop when your almost done. I can relate that to school and sports as I am still up and running.

1) DID IN CLASS
2)The video in my own words means you always ave to think positive in order for you to get positive results. Work hard for what you want. Never give up because once you give up you have to start all over again.
3)This means don't give up. Always stay focused and never give up. Focus on what can happen. Don't accept the world that was given to you, make your own. Do the best for the rest of your life. If you try for the rest of your life you will get positive results.
4)This video matters because many people think that it's ok to not finish. People think it's ok to not finish because they don't have anything to do so they think it's ok to just fail. We need to have a positive attitude in order to succeed in life. Before I really didn't care about my grades but now that am in high school I really stress because high school is basically my future. High School is my future because the university that I want to attend is going to be looking at my grades from high school.
I can apply this to my life and make it better because it is motivating me to be a better person in life. In order to be a better person in life I have to think positive. I also need to start doing all my work for all classes because that's the right thing to do in order to get good grades. In order to attend UCLA (the university I want to attend) I need to get good grades and stay focused in school starting now. I really want to attend this school because I want to make my family proud I also want my siblings something good to look up on.

1. Notes
2.Eric Thomas went to a drop out awareness meeting to help out those with issues in motivation and the drop out crisis. He helps out and is more than happy with attending the event since he had been a dropout himself.He gave a motivational speech toward the " why" and how people can use that to get better test scores and saying that this wasn't just a speech, it was a summary of his life.
3. Based on my understanding this means he wants to help out the people who have passed through the same experiences that he has had. The meeting wasn't just for the people who were considering to drop out, it was for the teachers and others who were going to step up and stay in school.For Eric Thomas, this speech was easily comprehend and he could empathize with the drop outs. He wanted to help out people because he never got the same assistance, he rose up from 0 and wants others to rise up as well so that they don't go through the same thing. He mentions his PHD, and how you can control your own destiny, if you are negative, you will receive a negative outcome.
4.This can help my life in various ways as it helps motivation. The very concepts of the story and difficulty that people can pass through is rather remarkable yet painful.The struggle may be real but it is accomplish able as his daily life is a memory of struggles and outcomes. There is no one saying no besides myself and that will be the reason why I fall, which is why I must never fall.There won't be any way to say yes if you don't say yes to yourself first.
I can apply this to my life by not dropping out. I have plenty of stress already and problems that can make a mountain seems small but I must keep going. There will be even larger obstacles, when I got a C on the geometry test it felt rather crushing and I don't know how I will keep going, all I know is that I just will. There may be other races and marathons but none like the San Francisco one as we must work to do it and work hard. In the end, I won't be a drop out and the video will motivate me more to avoid being one.

1.) DONE
ReplyDelete2.) The video was E.T telling his story. There was people inspired by E.T watching him tell his story. There was also someone interviewing E.T asking him about his past and how he motivated himself. There was also a bit of advertising of E.T's book(s).
3.) This means that you can inspire yourself to do the best that you can possibly do. You can even watch some of E.T's videos and get inspired. Buy one of his books and get inspired. Do anything that you can do to make others proud of you. Make it in life and be something.
4.)This matters because I can be inspired. I can inspire myself, or get inspired and make a change in my life. I'll make my family proud of me and become something in life. I'll be so successful that i'll have people coming to me asking how I get so successful. It'll make a change in my life.
I can apply this to my life by getting motivated and doing what I need to do. I can restore myself, get better grades, be great. All I want in life is to make everyone happy. If I get my degree, and become successful then i'll make my family happy. I will make sacrifices though.
1. DONE
ReplyDelete2. The video is saying that you must go to school to be successful. If you don't go to school, you have you need and want. You won't have the dream job that you want. You must go to school to have the life that you want and that you need.
3. What I think this means is that if you want to live a life that you want and need, you have to work hard for it. Having the life you want is a privalige. It's going to be hard to reach it, but it is doable. I think this also means that living the life that you want will not be easy to reach that is why you must work hard to reach it.
4. This matters because everybody wants a life that they want to live. Everybody wants to be successful. It will always be hard to reach the lives that everybody wants. That is why you must work your best to reach your goal. Working your hardest can give you the life you want and need.
I can apply this to my life by trying the best I can. I can make my life better by thinking of my future and getting to it. I know that it will be a struggle. All of lifes steps are going to e a struggle. That is why I must try my best to reach my goal. I must try my best to reach success.

2). The video is about Eric Thompson speaking at an even for dropout prevention. In the video Eric talks about three important steps for the dropout prevention: Redemption, Return, & Restore. Eric shares that he was also a high school dropout but with help he went on later to finish high school. Eric plans to not only help prevent high school dropouts, but to help out those who've already dropped out of high school. He plans to inspire them by sharing his own personal story about how he was a high school dropout.
ReplyDelete3). Based upon my understanding this video means that there is still hope for highschoolers that feel like dropping out, as well as for dropouts. There will now be more opportunities provided to those who feel like they have no where to go in life. Eric somewhat feels its his responsibility to help out because he was a high school dropout. I believe that now the rate for dropout will go down and the rates for college graduates will go up. Eric is trying to be an inspiration to the young students who are contemplating dropping out school.
4). This video is very important because it contains concepts that can be applied to daily life. In this video Eric talks about the three important steps. Eric lists his three important steps as: Redemption, Restore, and Return that he used when he was younger to help him through his fear of success. An important concept he explains is that it may not always be easy and you make not always start strong, but you must finish strong. You must apply this to your life so that when you start something new you won't be difficult on yourself because you can't always have a strong start. \
Eric lists many more concepts that he shares from his personal life in the video. Another concept that can be applied to life is that you must bring success to your family to make your family proud, as well as sense. He also shares that if you're gonna go to school, go for someone thats important to you and not just for the money. A final important concept is to not take the world that is given to you, instead create your own make your own choices and decisions in life. All of these concepts are important to your well-being and everyday life.
