    to me
    2) To me this video means that just cause you are a drop out doesn't mean that you still can't succeed. Basically you just got to put your focus on what can happen. If you think negatively then that is how it will come out. So always think positive and success will be earned.

    3) This is saying do whatever it takes to succeed. If you can't like just understand if you can not get to the next level. But don't use that as something bad just try harder and harder in order to reach the next level. Success will be earned if you do. Just cause you dropped out doesn't mean you cant achieve something you always have a second chance and take it.

    4) This matters because for the people who have dropped out and think that there future is over. it really is not. They still can do something with their life they just got to try harder. If you try hard and when you start to begin like don't start strong but when you finish try to finish strong. Just put focus on what you really want to do and always think positive.
    You can apply this to your life by saying that you dropped out you can still make a good living off of that. Create your own world. Make the rest of your life the best of you life. Just put focus on what you are trying to achieve. Also never have the fear of success. And with that you can have a good life.

  2. 2. The video was about how Eric Thomas went to the National Dropout Prevention Convention and was able to speak to many people. He talked about how he was a dropout and was homeless. And he wanted to graduate so badly he did it. And now he's a famous motivational speaker.

    3. Based on my understanding, this means that if you want to succeed and be something in life, you have to believe. Put in as much much work as you possibly can. Eric Thomas started from the bottom, and now he's famous. There is no excuse for you not to succeed either. He said that you need to believe. Believe and do. With that combination, you will be unstoppable.

    4. This matters because it teaches me to try as hard as possible to succeed. He said that where your focus goes, your energy flows. This means that I should put my focus in everything. Not only into the classes that I don't have my desired grade but in all my classes. Last year I put my focus into my hardest class. I got an A in that class, but I slacked off on another class.

    I can apply these concepts to my life and make it better by watching my grades at all times and do my best to keep them up. I can also motivate my myself not to dropout because I know what happens when you dropout. If I don't dropout it will be easier for me to get to college and become successful.

    2. this video is in my own words is all talking about the organization of high school dropouts and how now there is help and resorces that can help those who have made not much of te greatest decisions and there is people there to help you get back up on your feet and be great again to give you a second chance.


    3.based upon my understanding this means that if you are planning to give up or don't think your getting no where in life if you try and actually foucus you can , you can be succsesful , you can be the change you want to be


    4.this matters beacuse i am bearly starting high school and by my undertsanding this doesnt get eassier it gets more and more challenging but you just have to try and make sure not to give up and know whats at the end of all of this what i am gonna accomplish and do it and be it.

  4. 2. This video makes you think about what will happen if you drop out of high school. In the video ET said that the program he went to gave him a second chance to earn his high school degree.Also in the video he said that one of his teachers told him not to be like his dad because he has a better chance then his dad did.
    3.To me this means that we as kids should stay in school so that we don't go back and do it later on in life when you could be having your dream job that you always wanted. He also said that if your not going to school for your grades then go for a family member like your grandma or mom or someone that means everything to you. Go to school so you can make better choices than someone in your family who dropped out of high school.
    3.I can apply this to my life because my dad wasn't always there when i was younger or know. Watching these videos really help me get a better understanding about the future and what it holds.I don't want to be a high school drop out i want to finish high school get my diploma and go straight into college. I want to have a better goals than the ones i have know and have better grades than i do. High school is important because you never know what college scout would go to your games and give you a scoaler ship

  5. 1. Video

    2. This video says even if you make a mistake the first time, you do not have to make that mistake again. Don't ever fear success. That is what i think this video means.

    3. I think it means Do Your BEST. Always use resources as an advantage. Redemtion, Restore, and return. That is what i think this video means.

    4. I can apply this to my life because i learned about 3 things. I could use those 3 things to me make a better life for myself. Don't start strong, finish strong. That quote speaks to me.

    I also learned 2 more things. The first one i learned was pick a good role model. A teacher, parent etc. can be a role model. Pick up tips from them. Eric said his was his priest and did the right thing.

    Last thing was where your focus goes your energy goes. I agree with this one a lot. Whenever i focus on something i always put my energy on it. That is why i can apply this to my life.

    1.) - ( VIDEO )

    2.) - The video is talking about how you shouldn’t give up so easily. You need to keep moving on with your life, try to make it successful. Like what the video said, “You don’t understand why you can’t get to the next level. It’s because you don’t have a value system.” No matter what, you should be able to move to the next level with your life. Everyone is capable.

    3.) - It just means you have to keep working hard and finish what you started. “Redemption, restore, and return.” You don’t have to start strong, but you must finish strong in order to be successful. Finish what you started, don’t just drop it off and leave. That’s giving up. That’s not caring about it. If you want to make something of your life, then finish strong.

    4.) - This matters a lot in life and it doesn’t just pertain to education, but also to other various things. But this video is talking about finishing high school and not dropping out. Finishing so that you can go to the next level. You should be able to succeed, because everyone is capable of it. Everyone is capable of it, but it depends on what YOU do that will determine whether you will be successful or not.

    Like the video said, “If you want success as much as you want to breathe, then you will successful.” And it’s true. Success usually goes to the person who will work for it. Who will put the effort in it and be committed. It’s usually common sense to know that you need education to be successful. So, you need to finish what you started. School. Then you will able to move on to the next level.

  7. 1. The video was about Eric Thomas and the National Dropout Prevention Convention. It talked about bringing back students that have dropped out of school. Plus, some of Eric Thomas's own experience in being a high school dropout.

    2. What the video means is that you have to redeem, restore, and return. What I mean by that is is that those are the basic steps that dropouts have to do to get back on board. You have to rise up and take control of your own life. If you want to be successful then you have to get back on track and do your own thing. It doesn't matter how you start, it matters how you end.

    3. I can apply the concepts of the video to my life in many ways. One way I can apply it as a way of motivation. I can use it as motivation because with Eric Thomas's inspiring words, it can help me go through my educational life. You only have one life and you should cherish it. You cherish it by always moving forward and giving it your all.

    Another way I can apply this to my life is by applying it to my daily routines. Every day I will always be giving myself a mental note that I can and I will. I will continuously keep telling myself this until I achieve what I want in life. Also, I have got to add the hard work and effort to it. I will take this with me all throughout life.

    These concepts matter in many ways. It matters because it sends messages to young adults to continue striving. Teens that have dropped out from school should return and end strong. Success comes from all of this and it is the only way you can reach it. In conclusion, these were the reasons why the concepts of the video matter and can be applied to our lives in many ways. It is important that others take in the message that is being told so that they don't end up making the same mistake.

    1. Done

    2. The video, "Never in a Million Years" talks about a convention Eric Thomas attended and what it stands for. The convention was for people who dropped out, called the Dropout Prevention Conference, provided help for those who dropped out of school and helped them get their lives back on track. Eric explains that he dropped out of school himself, and was homeless at one point, living a tough life. But, he followed the three Rs, which are Redemption, Restore, and Return, to get his life back on track. Following the three Rs, he went back to school and got his life together.

    3. Based upon my understanding, this means that anyone can get their lives back and get a better future. You can't give up on your dreams, and stay motivated. As long as you have the right mindset, you can get your life back, even if you are in a dark place. The process may be hard, but you have to endure the hardships and stay motivated to surpass everything and live a better life.

    4. This video matters because as I previously mentioned, it shows the importance of staying positive. But, it also shows what could happen if you do drop out of school. In the video, Eric Thomas explains that when he dropped out of school, he was homeless. He lived on the streets and ate out of trash cans for a long time. But, he decided he wanted to live a better life and made changes to his life to live a better one.

    I can apply these concepts to my life in many ways. One of these ways os by staying motivated. As the video explains, staying motivated is crucial in being successful. I can stay positive by keeping things that are important in mind. Something important to me is my family. Another way I can apply the concepts of this video to my life is by never giving up. The video shows an example of a young man who worked hard in school to help support his family, and was close to giving up due to the pressure of school and work, but worked though his hardships and graduated from both high school and college.

    Applying these concepts to my life will make it better in many ways. Staying motivated in school will allow me to get good grades and get into a 4-year university. This will greaten my chances of achieving my goals of becoming a pediatrician and being successful. Never up will improve my life because it will keep me going. What I mean by this is that if I never give up, I will achieve many things in life, like having a stable career and buying my own house.

  9. 1.(Video)

    2. To summarize, the video "Never In a Million Years" is about having motivation and inspiration into finishing school or work or whatever it is that will help you become successful. Also, the video is about putting your all and believing yourself. The video also talks about controlling fear because Eric feared finishing high school and that was cause of him dropping out his fear took over.

    3. Based upon my understandings, this video is made to motivate all of us. It is made to motivate us because in the video the motivational speaker Eric Thompson speaks about about how we all have to find someone or something that will keep us motivated into accomplishing what we need to finish. Also. Eric talks about his life which makes us see that we all need to let our fears go because if we don't we'll end up letting them take over. The video also helps us see that there are places in where we get second chances.The video is basically saying that you don't always have to start strong as long as you end strong.

    4. This video matters because the words and stories are made to motivate and inspire us. The speaker's goal is to make sure that by using his experience and sharing it with the public , the public will learn from it and they will do better. Eric Thompson uses his struggle for motivation and not only hopes to better himself he also tries to make sure that we better ourselves by not sugar coating what there is to come if we don't get ourselves together now. This video also matters because we all need someone to tell us that we can do it and that at the end of the day everything you went through would be worth it.
    I can apply these concepts to my life in order to make it better by staying motivated at all times. I can also find something that I know will help me get through my life day by day just by looking at them or hearing them. Also, I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better by taking in the struggles and accomplishments of those who spoke in the video. These will help because it help me see that everyone has a struggle whether it's small or big but despite having those struggles they still find their way into success.
    Applying these concepts to my life will help me succeed and get to the point in life where I finally live a happy successful life. These concepts will also help me stay motivated and inspired to do better. Also, applying these concepts to my life won't only make me proud but they will also make the people who stuck by my side through it all proud. The concepts have powerful influences in people's life's as they will in mine, they will also come along with a few struggles but that will only make me as a person stronger and wiser.

  10. 1. Video

    2. This whole video talked about not thinking negative towards yourself because that's what the outcome will be in your life , negative. You need to take focus off of whats not happening and put your focus on what can happen. Remind yourself everyday on who or what your going to school or work for so you wont give up.

    3. Based upon my understanding to me Doing the things you do will put an example towards others that are close to you, you cant let them fall into bad habits that you do. I have to find something that inspires/motivates me so i can do everything i do for that specific something or someone. I cant let success scare me because ill just do the same things i do everyday because I'm scared that if i do something big it will go wrong in a way.

    4. This matters because if i ever come to a point where i want to give up because i cant take it anymore i can't do that. I can't give up because if i do my life wont be successful and i would regret making that decision later on because i wont have nothing anymore. It also matters because its telling us to stay positive,staying positive will get you through life. Positive vibes and attitude will get you through life i say that because its true. Negative attitude will bring you a negative life, you get how you make your day (outcome).

    I can apply many concepts to my life as well as the ones that i listed before. If something ever happens in my life that affects me in a bad way i need to stay motivated and get past my situation. I cant let nothing bring me down because that will have a major effect on my grades. Whatever motivates me and gives me strength to get up in the morning and get let me get trough my grades i need to have that in mind. Someone does look up to you, it can be a cousin, sibling, or friend you may not know that but someone does. You need to always have positive vibes around them and do what you always do so you can motivate them so they can follow their desires.

    Applying these concepts to my life would make my life better because if I'm motivated daily for school i can get the grades i want. Be a great example to others so they can follow in my foot steps if I'm successful so they can be successful as well. Always be positive so that it will show in my life and not be a negative one. In life depending on which route you take if you mess up or give up they will give you a second chance, they give you a chance because they see potential in you. They give you a chance because they think you deserve it, once you get that second chance you need to take advantage of it and make the best out of it.

  11. 2) In summary, this video was about how to not give up specifically at school. Tons of students dropout because they have no motivation, they find things too difficult, or simply because of laziness. We have to remember to finish strong even if we never started strong.

    3) Based upon my understanding, this video means to focus the most on what you want to achieve and to do so. What is most difficult about this is that there are many moments in which one will lose optimism. However, you have to find a meaningful purpose and stick to it to get where you want to be in life. If you don't find a purpose, you become more vulnerable to giving up and losing hope. Don't let your mistakes haunt you and keep moving forward.

    4) This matters because it shows us how to keep on pursuing our goals in life. Many of us tend to give up or stumble in the process which affect our mentality. We have to move past our mistakes, and redeem ourselves by accomplishing what we need to do. Even if you didn't get it right the first time, that doesn't mean that you can't achieve it the second time around. Have a positive mentality and significant purpose to do things.


    I can apply this to my life by staying motivated. It is very easy for me to slip and slack off in my academic efforts. I need to stay focused in high school all four years until I get my diploma. Even if I might not get the best grades on certain assignments, I have to remind myself that I just have to keep trying my best at school. I need to move on and not beat myself up for minor failures.

    Even though my family members have attended Leuzinger but dropped out, it doesn't mean that I should either. I have the opportunity to have a free education and I shouldn't take that for granted. We're attending high school in the first place to prepare ourselves with the skills necessary for the real world. I know that I am capable of being successfully in high school, I just need to do so. I need to stay motivated to become successful in life.

  12. 2. The video is saying that there are always ways to succeed. There is not an option as to why you cant find a way to be successful. There may be bad situations in your life, but there is always a way.

    3. To me this means that there is no excuse as to why you can not succeed. Their are people that have been in worse situations than you, and they are still able to make something out of themselves. At the end of the day, it all comes down to effort, and how you want it. "If you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, that is when you'll be successful."

    4. This is important because it shows that there is no reason to not succeed. If you are homeless, a high school dropout, or your mother is on drugs and you don't have a father, you can still succeed. There are always resources that you can use to be successful. Whether that means just getting your GED and working minimum wage. Or taking that GED, and going to college and then accomplishing your dreams. Or it can be just bettering yourself as a person and trying to get your life together and fixing certain situations. In the end, there is always a way.

    I can apply this to my life to make it better by just knowing things could be a lot worse. When I start saying that life is hard and I get through it, I need to give myself a reality check. I have to remind myself that things could be so much worse. Both of my parents are alive, I eat everyday, and I have a roof over my head. And some people can't say the same. While their life and situations are way worse than mine, they are still able to make something of themselves. When I start to complain at how hard things are or when I say I can't get my grades up, I have to find a way. At the end of they way, there is always a way ad there are always resources and solutions.

  13. 1) Notes/Video

    2)The video explain that life can give you some challenge. If you work hard in life, then you will success in life. Also, you'll never know what your life will be years later.

    3) The video have an important meaning to it. It stated that you'll never know what will happen to your life. Don't let your past stop you from successful in life. Also, to work in life so you can success.

    4) The video actually matter in your life. The video is stating not to like your past stop you in life. Also, you can't expect to know everything in your life. Sometime in life you can change from nothing to being something. If you work hard in life, you'll be successful in life and your future. That why the video matter to your life.

    You can actually apply the video in your everyday life. Don't let your past stop you from achieving your dream. If you didn't go to school early in your age or wasn't good don't worried just work hard and go to school and you'll get your dreams. Stop worrying about the future. No one knows your future but you so you have the power to make your future. Sometimes we start out in a rough start. However if you work hard in life you can be successful. That how you can apply the video in your daily life.

  14. 1. Notes

    2. That it does not matter if you don't start strong but you must end strong. Always do something for a why or who. If you focus on negative things you will receive negative things.

    3. You must not let your errors from your past affect you in the present. You must go to school for someone that you love. When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath that is when you will be successful. You must not have fear from success. You don't have to start strong but must end strong.

    4. This matter in many ways for the people who are high school dropouts. This helps people who are felling down and need motivation. Also since i am in high school this makes me relize many things in life.  It also says what can happen if you drop out and he is good example and give an example why not to drop out. He also gives to understanding that you are capable of achieving your dreams.
        
         Now i know that i can do what ever i want and achieve. Also know the consequence if i drop out of school and it will keep me in line. I have more understanding now than what i used to have and can do changes in my life. Now i know that there is no excuse for me to fail because there are many resources in this world. Now i know that if i put something in mind and grind hard on it i will achieve.

  15. 1.The video was about E.T talking about how he didn't give up on school.Also how to be successful in the future.Also to stop people to drop out and to motivate the ones that did drop out to go back to school.

    2.The video means that despite you messing up their is still time to fix it.Since E.T went from a high school drop out to a person that graduated from college.He did not give up and worked to achieve it.He wanted to motivate people to not drop out like he did.Also to motivate the people that did drop out to work toward their goals in life.

    3.This matters because if a person drops out the chances of them going far in life are low.Also the future they would have would not be so simple.It would be hard for them to fix up their life and go back to school again.But in the end it would be worth it for them to go back to school again.It would be difficult for them to go back but the struggle to get their would be worth it.

    I can apply what the video said to my life by working hard and not giving out.If I ever give up I will try to pick myself up and get on track.Since I want to have a bright future.A future with no struggle and no problems.Also to works towards my goals in life.

    Working hard towards something will be worth it.It does not matter if you think the chances are low as long as you believe.Also If I do not trust myself and my abilities I won't go far.That's why some people are negative towards their future.Since they only thing of the mistakes they would make.Instead of thinking of what they could do in life.

  16. 2) The video is about to not give up just because its difficult. That no matter how hard things get you must continue to do it and finish what you started. And it talked about hoe ET was a high school drop out and how he went back to get his degree.
    3) Based upon my understanding this means that i cant give up when things get rough. I cant be a coward and leave just because it isnt easy. And if i do drop out i must think of the consequences that come afterward. The aftermath of my decision to give up. What would become of me if i were to just give up and quit. And i will always ''wonder what if?''
    4) this matters because its important for people to know how important it is not to give up. People give up so easily because they dont have a drive to keep them going. Thats what you need to find to keep going and not give up. It matters if you give up or not because its your life and you want to give up. I think life gave us a grater purpose than to just give up. Thats why it matters to not give up.
    I can apply this concept to my life by when i want to give up on something to remember im not that kind of person and dont give up. I cant be scared of difficulty and if i am its something i have to face. I have o face my own demons in order to not give up. Giving up is not an option for anyone but to choose that is weak. It means that you cant do something and i dont like thinking that way. Thats how i can apply this concept to my life.

  17. 1. Video
    2. The video was about how E.T went to an intervention to help people not drop out of high school. To keep going and believing that they can do it. The video is about having a value system so that you can have the motivation to keep going. To put all of your attention on what can happen. To be optimistic of the future and believing that you can make it a bright one.
    3. What the video means to me is that you need to have a reason why you do something. You need to have motivation to keep doing something that will affect your life for the better or for the worst. What the video means to me is that you need to prevent yourself from giving up. The video means that you need to find a reason why you do something. Also it means to find a "why" which is a something that gives you motivation to do something.
    This video means that you need to find something to motivate you to not drop out of high school. It means to find a reason not to give up on what you need to do to have a bright future. For example, E.T said something about using a family member to motivate you. If you use an important person in your life as a reason to keep going it will help you more. It will help you more than if you just did something for the money.
    4. The video matters because you need to know that if you drop out you might make other people suffer as well. For example, lets say you drop out your parents would probably have to take care of you for the rest of their lives until they die. If you drop out you would also probably work for eternity and still not make enough money. The video is important because if you drop out you will have a harsh life. That if you drop out and end up doing nothing with your life you will be unhappy.
    The video matters because it is important to know that if i drop out i will be known as a quitter. The video matters because i know that if i dropout i might end up working at a fast food restaurant for the rest of my life. The video is important because i know that if i think about dropping out i might make my parents suffer. What i mean by that is that if i drop out and end up doing nothing with my life i will have to live with my parents and they will have to take care of me for the rest of their lives. Also if i dropout i will disappoint my family.
    I can apply it by not dropping out and disappointing my family. I can apply it by not dropping out becoming a quitter. I can apply it by knowing that I can make my parents suffer if I don't become something. For example, they will have to support me for the rest of their lives. They will also have to help me financially. So, I can apply it by becoming something in life and not disappointing my parents.

  18. 1.) Video and Notes

    2.) Believe on what you want to do in life to succeed. Don't think negative think positive.

    3.) This means you have to pay attention to do whatever you want. Do whatever it takes to succeed. We don't have to make good decisions.

    4.) This matters because you got to do what it takes to succeed. You don't have to start strong but at the end you got to finish strong. Look up to the person who inspired you. Keep doing what you are doing right now. Create whatever you want to be the best.

    I can apply this to my life to make it better by making my dreams happen. Believe the power of hope. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. It is okay to make mistakes, but it matters if you keep trying. Go to school and don't drop out to get a better life to succeed.

  19. 1) - Video

    2) The video is explaining to us that people should never drop out of school. They should just finish it because it will make a huge change to their future if they finish high school. Sometimes people drop out of high school because they are afraid to cross over, that's why they don't want to try it.

    3) Based upon my understanding, this means that people drop out of school because they give up in life. They give up on being successful. When people don't finish anything they don't commit their selves to anything. That's why people should never give up and just keep going because if they don't keep going, they won't be able to finish what they started.

    4) This matters to me because this video will motivate/ inspire people to not drop out of school. In order to be successful, people don't have to start strong and they don't have to finish strong either. They just have to keep going and to never give up on their dreams because if they mess up on one thing then it's going to ruin their whole future. People shouldn't allow the terrible decisions that they have made in the past, haunt them for the rest of their life. That's why they just have to keep the momentum going.

    I can apply these concepts to my life to make it better because this video actually explains to me why people should never drop out of school. They should just finish it so they can go along to a good college and have a good career. The reasons that E.T gives in this video on why people shouldn't drop of of school, will actually help me as well so throughout my high school career I won't do anything dumb that will make me drop out. I am a really hard working person. I feel that if I continue being like this it will help me to take really good classes throughout high school that will get me into a good college. That way after I graduate I can have the career that I always wanted.

The video in my own words means that in life people make mistakes and sometimes when people make mistake there are people and programs that help them make the best decision, to put them back on track. When we are teenagers we tend to make a bad decision and that's why we have people that help us make the best decision, the are their to help guide us through our way to make sure that we don't let our past and the mistakes that we made as a teenager follow us for the rest of our lives. We are only teenagers for a teenager for so long but we will be an adult for the rest of our lives that's why we have to make the best of it and make that our teenage life doesn't follow us around all the time.

    2. Based upon my understanding this means that for all the mistakes that we make in life we always have people who are their for us, they are our strength and sometimes the become our why in life. We don't always have to start out strong but we have to finish strong because most the celebrities didn't grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth but the were able to become something huge and the managed to pull through and make their poverty become the reason that the have to work hard and become successful. In this life you will always face many challenges that will be hard but in the end we will overcome them.

    3. This matters because once in a person life the tend to stray from the path that the have chosen for themselves, they tend to lose track of what our original goal was. That is why we need to have people in our life who are there to reminds us of what our original purpose is and to be there to tell us what we are doing wrong. We have to learn to move on from our past, we have to know to learn the mistakes that we made in the are in the past and to learn from them so that we don't make same mistakes that we made in the past.

    I can apply this concepts to make my life better by knowing that nobody is perfect, that people make mistake and that I don't have to do everything perfectly because no one is perfect in this world. I have to know that what I did in the past can't be changed but know that I can make the present and the future better if I don't hang onto the past. I need to move on from what I did in the past because it won't get me anywhere rather it will just cost me my downfall. I have to accept help when offered to me, I have to be able to let someone into my life because in life we go through many hardship and we face a lot challenges that's we need someone who will be willing to stay with us and help us overcome those challenges and hardships.

    2. The video was about how ET went to a drop out prevention conference, and his overall experience with this. He was also talking about how we should all have a "why", or a reason to do what we do. he mentioned that we have to strive to make things better for ourselves, and for others who we want to have a better life.

    3. Upon my understanding this means that I can't give up on what i am trying to accomplish, even when things seem harsh or when i get put down by other things.I have to do everything I do for a reason, even if its not for myself, it will be for my mom and siblings. This also means that I have to believe I am able to accomplish anything that i set my mind to. I can't let smaller things drag down my dreams and aspirations.

    4. I can apply these concepts to my life by working hard every day and reminding myself that in return for my hard work I will get greater things. I can tell myself that I have to work hard for my family, as a way to give inspiration to myself. I can also put forward my best effort in everything that I do as a way to make sure I get things done. I will take advantage of any opportunities for school that I get. By doing those kinds of things I can get closer to making sure I have a bright future and get closer to success.

    This matters because it goes to show how we have to work hard if we want to get things done. It encourages us to remember we have to work hard not only for ourselves, but also for family and others we want to make proud. It helps us remember that nothing comes easy, and if we want to accomplish things, we have to put our all into it. We have to make sure we don't waste any opportunities. We must put our all into everything that we do.
