Go For It has helped me in a lot of ways. If asked which key I enjoyed learning the most, I would probably answer that all of them have been fun, exciting and interesting. But I think the key that has helped me the most is Key #1: I Have a Positive Attitude.
This key has helped me more than the other key because it has made me a better person. Before Go For It my mom and dad would complain about my negative attitude all the time. After our first Go For It lesson, however, I started to change. Whenever I opened my mouth to say something negative something in my head clicked and I would change what I was going to say. At first it was hard to remember, but then it just started to happen automatically. My family and I quickly noticed and it made it easier for all of us.
I also noticed some other things happening. One of them was that I started to forgive and apologize to people more quickly than I usually did. If my sister and I were fighting and she hurt me I would go spend some time along and calm down. Then I would go and forgive her, or ask her to forgive me. This made both her and me happy.
In conclusion Go For It helped me a lot, and I am glad to know that I have a chance to study Go For It and learn to be a successful, more positive person.
Every 26 seconds, another high school student drops out of school. The loss of 1.2 million graduates annually imposes unquantifiable costs on every family and every community across our nation. Even though policymakers continue to seek improvement in U.S. schools by increasing government control, decades of increased spending and increased federal control have yielded little improvement in student performance. The harsh realities of these drop-out rates will continue to impact the cycle of poverty in our nation. Students that drop out are:
- 8 times more likely to go to prison;
- 50% less likely to vote;
- More likely to need social welfare assistance;
- Not eligible for 90% of jobs; and
- Paid 40 cents to the dollar.
Even among those students who do graduate from our nation’s high schools, a significant number receive diplomas without possessing the necessary skills to succeed in life. This fact represents a considerable impact on the economy and the health of communities and families across the nation.
