- Based upon your understanding, what does this mean? [3-5 sentences]
- Why does this matter and how can you apply the concepts to your life to make it better? [2-3 paragraphs]
2. Take all of the opportunities you have and make things happen when you can. Use all of the resources you have to accomplish what you need done, because there are plenty of resources. If you believe in what you want and you work for it as much as you want it, it will come your way.
ReplyDelete3. I believe this means that you should always push forward and you shouldn't think negative when you have something to get done because it will drag you down. It also means that when you have fell off, think about why you did and figure out something so you can fix it. Do everything you need to do to reach your goals because you are the only person that can do it.
4. This matters to me in many ways. It matters to me because at times I fall off and I want to give up, but I have been taught to look ahead and ask why am I giving up.It matters to me because my life matters, I can't let it pass me by because you don't always have as many chances as other people do. I have to make it worth it because if you think about it, things don't stay the same and you can lose the opportunity of getting what you have always wanted. It also matters to me because it is always good to find a source of inspiration so you can work off of it and have a purpose for becoming what you are going to become.
I can apply this concept to my life in many ways. I can apply this to my life because when I am overwhelmed in class, I begin to stop working and I wonder why I am here in class and I figure it out, It is for me to become what I want to. I have to work hard as ever because I never know when I will be able to do it again in life. I have to use the resources around me because not everything is handed to me as it used to be, growing up takes time and I have to be prepared to make it happen. I can also apply it to my life at home because my mom tells me to do certain things and I always procrastinate to do it because I feel there is no need to, I have to have a reason to do it.

1) DONE
2) In the video, ET told his story of how he went from a high school dropout to a motivation speaker. He used redemption, restore, and return. He used these to three to help from get out of the life he had before because he dropout of high school. He also participate in the dropout prevention, where it prevent student for dropping out of high school, like him. Eventually Eric got his G.E.D and graduated from college.
3) Base upon my understanding to me this means that I need someone who inspires me to get to my dreams. Like the graduate, in the video says that he watched ET's video because of his hard time in life. Everyone comes to a point in their life where you want to give up. You just need to have inspirational person to keep you up. Find someone who you can say ''why."
4) This matters because a lot of students drop out of high school and end up in the streets. ET participated in the dropout prevention where it prevents students from quitting school. In order to succeed you need to go through pain. Like if you don't like school that would be your pain. You would also have to go through college if you want your career. At the end of pain is gain. Try your best and don't give up. There will be opportunities that will knock, open them.
I can apply this concept to my life by having an inspiration or a "why." What I mean is that I've went through compilations in my life where I want to give up; just let to go. I need to have someone inspire me to be the best. I don't want to give up but I can't handle the pain. My mom once told me " Pain is gain" it has stuck with me ever since. Occasionally, I want to give up but I can't. And I will never.
There are a lot more ways I can apply this concept to my life, but these are the main one. I know I won't give up. I will try my best. I will find more people who can inspire me. I will find my why. ET started from the bottom and he is successful. He struggled be he fight his way up. He will always be an inspiration. His story will be in the minds of teens.

1. Watched video and took notes
2. To summarize the video, "Never in a Million Years," it was about how we always have second chances in life and how we have to redeem ourselves, restore, and return to what we want to do. ET was at a conference with teachers, administrators, and so many other people talking about his experience. He also got interviewed and gave a tip to everybody, saying that we need to ask ourselves, what is our why. All in all, it was about how he inspired so many teachers, students, and people around the country.
3. Based upon my understanding, what this means to me, is that if we want to be successful in life, we have to use the resources that are around us and take advantage of them. Furthermore, there are always going to be second chances when you fail and as well as people to help you get through whatever you are going through. Moreover, what this means is that it is never to late to accomplish your dreams, even if it takes you years and years, it will not matter because you will already be attaining them.
4. This message matters because it can benefit us in so many ways. It can help us through out our journey in life every step of the way. In the video, a girl and a boy were interviewed, and they both explain how the videos form ET motivate them and our very beneficial. The boy explained, how the videos inspired him to keep moving forward towards his goal, which was going to college. Even when there were many challenges in his life, those videos really motivated him to finish high school and not drop out. The fist video he ever watched, ET explained, "Succeed as bad as you want to breathe, and you will be successful in life." When he heard that, it helped him to not give up on pursuing his goal.
Fortunately, he did successfully attain that goal and is now 22 and already finished college. Overall, this happened because he got inspired and motivated to never give up. Moreover, the girl who was being interviewed, explained how ET and CJ have so much knowledge that it can benefit us in so many ways. All in all, what this is saying, is that the message in the videos that we see really matter and can help us in many different ways.
A way we can actually apply these concepts to our lives to make it better is by taking advantage of all the resources we have round us. For example, social media like YouTube can really help us by watching videos that can motivate us into doing the right thing. Books is also another helpful resource and can help us in school or anywhere. Furthermore, we have to take these concepts seriously and actually apply the to our lives. This way it will help us for the better and benefit us. By never giving up,, always moving forward, and being inspired by the people who surround me, will be ways I will apply these concepts.

2.This video is about ET and his life story.He started by talking about when he dropped out and became homeless and ate out of trash can's.Then how he got into a program that gave him a chance graduate from high school and then from college.
3.Based on my understanding this mean's don't drop out of high school.It was also about how you should take every you get. Finally it also means you should never give up.
4.This matters for many reasons.One reason is because ET's story is inspiring and proves that anything is possible.The second reason it is important is when ET talks about the high school dropout prevention program. The reason the program is important is because that program lets people redeem them self and finish high school.The third and final reason this video is important is because in the video is about never giving up.
I can apply this to my life in many ways.One way this apply to my life is by trying and never giving up. Another way is by believing that I can do something because during the video it told me to believe in the power of believing.One final way is by taking advantage of all my resources.I do that by taking advantage of resources that offered at school.

2. This video, Never in a Million Years, was telling us that anything can happen. Get as much help has you can because you have the resources. Always believe and hope because those are strong powers that you can have. Be passionate about growth and don't give up.
3. This means that we should never give up. We should not drop out of school because we can all make it. We can always ask people, use the internet, or use books to help us succeed. We do not need to start strong, we need to end strong. Be passionate about where you are going your growth. We all must be optimistic about the future because believing and hope can help us push through on what we believe, like failure.
4. This matters because it can send a message to everyone. Many people today need inspiration, or motivation to go through their day. The simplest video can make a big difference in somebody. Everyone has a day where we do not want to do anything. We realize that we have no reason to go to school or go through the day. This video can help us all realize that we could possibly be going to school for someone, or something that you are passionate about and love.
I have already applied these concepts to my life but, I can still use some of these concepts to help. Many people are not optimistic about their future because of where we are now. I need to realize that it does not matter where I start. It matters on where I finish. I need to focus on believing in myself. I know that if I can work hard, I can make it.
This video is telling us to just believe in yourself and hope. You are not getting anywhere in life if you believe that you are a failure. You are not getting anywhere in life if you do not see an optimistic future because that means you do not believe in yourself. You must be able to see how successful you've become, and how you were able to make it. Stop focusing on what's not happening. Start focusing on what is happening.
2. In my own words, I'd summarize the video in my own words as in order to reach your goals in life, you must think the way you want to think. If you want to live a happy life, you must think about happiness. Also, focus on the good things that happen in your life rather than the negative things that have happened in your life. It's okay if you don't start off strong, as long as you finish strong.
ReplyDelete3. Based upon my understanding, the message behind the video mean that although you might not start off strong, you must finish strong. If life gives you an opportunity to take a second chance, you should take it cause you won't always have that same opportunity everyday of your life. If you want to finis strong, you must do what ever it takes to succeed in accomplishing what you wanted to do in the first place.
4. I can apply the message behind the video to my life in several ways. There were many times when I wasn't so sure in doing what I had gotten myself into. Although, once it has come to an end, I realized that I'm glad about what I did. If I didn't do certain things in my life, I would't be the person who I am today. A majority of the things I've been through molded me into the person I am today. I tend to focus on negative things more than the positive things that has happened to me. Through out my experience with focusing too much on the negative things, I noticed that it didn't only effect my performance, but it made a huge impact on my day. Although there were those times that I focused more on the positive and it really did bring the best in me. Thinking about the positive things in life helped me not focus on the n negative things in life.
The message behind the video matters because a simple video can inspire others to do the impossible. For example, in the video there was this guy who stated that he needed inspiration. In result of his discouraging situation, he went on youtube and looked for inspirational speakers an found E.T. After he watched the video, he ended up watching the video everyday for a whole moth and it really inspired him to succeed. Sometimes little things such as a video, can cause a huge positive impact on peoples' lives. Also, since E.T was being interviewed on how he feels about accomplishing so much, it may have a positive impact on viewers. Hearing about other people's accomplishments can also really inspire others to push themselves a little harder and reach their goals.
2. You should not make the any wrong decisions because they will lead you to the wrong place. Always think about what you want to do, make the right choices for your life.
ReplyDelete3. Based on what i understand you should not go for the wrong decisions because they will lead you to the wrong place, do not drop out of school just for a dumb decision that you made, always think about what you want twice, so that you can be sure that-that is what you want for your life. You will lead yourself not anyone else will because that is what you are choosing for your life.
4. This matters because everyone should know to make the right decisions. We all nobody is perfect but this means a lot because you will not start strong on everything but you should be able to end strong. We all know decisions are hard to make but you will know what choice you are doing.
I can apply this to my life by thinking of the choices i am making. This is important because some people do not think about what they are doing, i will now as well think about the choices that i will make about myself. I will think wisely about what i want to do for my life, because that is the life that i will have forever and i will not be able to change that.
2) No matter how hard your circumstances are, always remember to believe in yourself and be hopeful. At times, you will be fighting an uphill battle, but the power to believe you will succeed is what will make you succeed. When you have no motivation, think back to who or what you're doing it for. Focus all your energy on the positive and what matters, not on what you can't do. " Where your focus goes, your energy flows. "
ReplyDelete3) Based on my understanding, this means the power to believe in yourself is magical. During the worst situations, if you are able to focuse on the postive, the outcome will eventually become positive. Motivation is the key to success. You must be able to find what motivates you and use it to keep yourself driven. Wake up every morning reminding yourself who and why you're doing this.
4) This matters because people need to realize that the power to change and make is difference is within themselves. Life is never going to go your way, but you have the ability to make it the way you want it. Your life is a blank canvas and your actions paint the picture for the future you live in.
I can apply these concepts to my life when I feel like giving up on everything. I will remember that everything is all in my head. Life is simple. You get what you put in. What makes it difficult is the little voice winthin yourself saying you can't or you shouldn't. Turn off those negative comments and focus on you and yourself only.
Be strict with your goal, but flexible with your method. Do whatever it takes to get there, but never move your target. I will look back to this when I lose all motivation. I will remember that it's all in my head. I have the power to do whatever I want and make the most out of my life.

2. To summarize the video "Never in a Million Years" I would say that it is about never giving up on yourself and that it is never to late to do something you really want to do. We have to take all the opportunities that are given to us now because they may not be available for us later in life. It also states that if you want a positive outcome out of your life then you must think positively in order to get there.
3. Based upon my understanding, I think this means that we should always push and strive to be our best selves. In order to be successful in our lives we have to use the opportunities and resources that are provided to us. We have to take those resources and take advantage of them because they might not be there later. Also it is never to late to make your life the best life it can be. E.T was a high school drop out and even ate out of trash cans during a point in his life and he ended up getting his GED and finishing school. He did not want to tun into his father and grandfather who never finished anything.
4. These messages matter in so many ways and can be applied to many aspects of my life. They matter because it shows people that it's not to late to finish your dreams. We all have a vision of what we want our perfect lives look like but most of us aren't putting in the effort to get that life. If we want a positive outcome from our lives we have to start thinking more positively and acting that way. If we continuously think and act negatively then that is all we are going to get out of our lives.
A way that I can apply the message from the video into my life is into my schoolwork. I can get lazy from time to time and start to think negatively about school. I need to start tell myself that going to school is for my own good and there are a lot of ways I can benefit from it. By working hard now in school, my life in the future will be a lot more simple and better. A positive attitude is all I need to get through it all and create a positive outcome from my life.
Another way I can apply the message of the video "Never in a Million Years" is into my everyday life. When I feel like the walls are caving in and life is getting too hard I need to just stop and think for a moment. I have to remember to keep a positive attitude to create positive actions. The positive actions will eventually turn into a positive outcome in my life. The main reason of why the message from the video matters is because it can help people to change the path they are in right now into the path they want to be in.

2. The video is saying that you need to take as much opportunities as you can before you don't have any. We always have second chances but a lot of opportunities are going to close for you. You can have a lot of opportunities but if you don't take them now they will close up and you will have only a few left.
3. To me the video means that if you don't take chances and the opportunities you get offered to, you wouldn't know what to do. People give you opportunities to improve and get better but you have to also push yourself to be better. People can push you to take opportunities but you can make the bigger step and see the difference that you have a lot that you can succeed them. Take them while you can because soon they would be gone.
4. This matters to me because I can relate to it. I have tried to give up on many things but I remember I can do it and finish what I started. I have pushed myself to accomplish the things I tried to accomplish. People have gaven me opportunities and I have received most of them. I regret not taking some opportunities that people have offered me.
I can apply this concept to myself and my life in many ways. I've had times where I didn't want to do anything anymore. There has been times I didn't want to work hard because I thought it didn't matter. I felt like that because I didn't have anyone to tell me to keep trying because I would go somewhere in life. Then I noticed that if I don't I will fail and if I fail, I fail myself. I understood that working hard and putting in effort gets you somewhere. I have to open up and take the opportunities that they offer because it helps you because they are trying to help you
1) Watch video and take notes.
ReplyDelete2) Just because you don't start strong doesn't mean you won't finish strong. As long as you have your mind set to complete something, you will. You don't need someone pushing you daily, as long as you believe in yourself everything will be okay.
3) Based on my understanding this means just because coming from a really bad family doesn't mean you can't accomplish anything. Helping someone is always okay but you need to focus on yourself first. If you want to experience growth you need to have your mind set to what you need to accomplish. Once you have your mind set to something bad doesn't mean you won't accomplish anything. Always follow your dreams and what you believe in.
4) This matters to me and apply's to my life in many ways. I always had my mindset to not finishing is okay. I need to have my focus on what I can accomplish. Being a high school drop out stopped my uncles from doing what they want. I am positive that won't be happening to me. I will make the most out of my life every single days.
Once I have my mindset to what I want to do when I'm older, I will achieve anything I want. Nothing has stopped me from doing what I want accept people saying I won't do it. Not every person has got to me because I've learned to deal with hate everyday. I know haters will just hate and I can be me everyday. That is how this apply's to my life and how I can make it better

2. This video, Never in a Million Years, was telling us that anything can happen. Be smart and use your resources to help you . Always believe and hope because those are strong powers that you can have. Be passionate about growth and don't give up. Also, focus on the good things that happen in your life rather than the negative things that have happened in your life.

2. In the video, Eric was inspiring and spreading knowledge to educated people and he was saying to believe and to do what you have to do for the sake of the person you love. And he felt redemption/ restore, and return while explaining how good he felt about the national dropout prevention conference.
3. This matters because there are people such as Eric who needed these programs but they were never there. But it also matters because everything that Eric has been through made him the person that he is today. It made him realize things from a different perspective. It made his soul passionate and that's a really beautiful thing in my eyes. And that's why it matters so greatly.
4.
This matters very much because it's really heartwarming to do something for the one you love. It's hard to do something that frustrates you with no motive. And Eric is telling you ow to find your motive and helping you find ways to find your motive. Someone from behind a screen in which I have no idea who the heck this person is, inspired me and helped me see more motives. And I didn't even know these motives existed. So yes this does matter very much.
I can apply this to my life to make a better because I can do this for my mom. I can finish school and become a doctor for my mom. To show her a 'thank you for raising me'. I wanna do everything for her and that's exactly what I'ma do. That's how I can apply the concepts of the video to my life to make it better. By doing it for my mom.

2.This video was based on a corporation "National Dropout Prevention Conference".Its mainly about how to get people to not dropout of school or people who did dropout of school to go back and finish.Its also is about how you can get a second chance if you have the option then you should take it.
3.Based upon my understanding this means that you can go back to school and get the same education as everybody else.This means that you can stop putting focus on whats not happening and put focus on what is happening.If you don't do it for the money then do it for yourself.This place helps kids across the country who actually want to try to get into school but cant.You don't have to start strong but you can at least finish strong.
4.This matters because its showing how much somebody can help you motivate and and have a reason to do something and succeed in your goals in life.Like how the guy Eric had his son as his why it shows you how much having somebody as your personal why is good.Not to use them as an excuse but to motivate you in your time of need when when you need to remember why its worth doing something that your trying to do.
I can apply this to my life by keeping focus in school and doing what i need to do and not procrastinating.the better i focus the better i can do in life.I personally am not doing it for anybody else but my self.Because i think i i'm not doing it for my self then why do it in the first place.
