About the cours

To start, make sure you have a notebook for College and Career Success. Each post/activity starts with a quickwrite (QW); you will complete your quickwrites in this notebook, and share them with your EF at your meetings. For each quickwrite, spend about 10 minutes writing down whatever comes to mind in response to the QW prompt. Try to write for the entire 10 minutes.

You can also use this notebook for any thoughts and reflections you want to jot down while completing the activities, and when we get to the college and career planning, you can keep your college list and other notes about college and career interests in your notebook.

If you are new to the course, start at the bottom and work your way up. New posts/activities will appear at the top.

Success

QW: Describe a person who you feel is successful.

Part I: Review some quotes on success at this website.  Choose one of the quotes on the website, or create your own success quote and create a poster (with a visual image) of that quote.

Part II: What Does Success Mean to You?  Write three paragraphs about success:

The first paragraph should explain what you mean by the term "success".  You could start with one of the following statements:

  • "I consider myself successful when...."
  • "My definition of success is...."
  • "I think a successful person is one who......"
Then explain why.

In the second paragraph, describe someone who you consider to be successful.  This could be someone you know personally, or someone famous.  It can also be a historical figure (but it must be a real person).  Explain why you think this person is or was successful.

In the third paragraph, describe what you hope your life will be like in the future.  Think (and write) about how this description of your life lines up with the ideas of success you described in the first paragraph.
