Pride

This is a poem I wrote for my students.

PRIDE

P stands for Positive Mental Attitude.
Believe in yourself and have confidence
In your ability to accomplish the goals you set.

R   stands for Respect. 
It's important to give and earn respect
From everyone in your life, including your
parents, teachers, and friends and peers.
You show respect for others,
Not because they deserve it,
But because you are a respectful person.

I    stands for Intelligent Decision Making.
Making intelligent choices now
Will improve your future.
The most important choice you can make
Is to stay in school and work hard
To learn and achieve.
Don’t be a follower,
Be an exemplary leader
Through great effort and hard work

D   stands for Dreaming Dreams and Goal Setting.
Visualize your dreams.
Set realistic goals for your short-term activities
And long-term future.

E   stands for Effort in Education.
A key to success in your life will be the
completion of your high school education.
Hard work and determination will make
that goal become reality.

My dear Jeanette,
I have a very dear friend who is having a little difficulty in her last year in high school. She is a brilliant young woman who is experiencing some of the ridicule and bullying we hear about from time to time. Just now I sent her this poem along with my own article How to Succeed in Life. I pray that she is able to take them to heart. And any of you den dwellers, pray for her:
SquirrelLuvsPnut. God will know who you mean.
Thank you so much,
Richard

P.S.
And, Jeanette, you know that I sent her this because I think you did a great, great job, as always. My Lord,
I bet you were a fabulous teacher!

Jeanette, you were one fantastic teacher I would say, and you can tell in your poems you gave your all and I'll bet you left many wonderful basic's instilled in the minds of your students. This is truly a meaning of PRIDE and I'm sure those students who were fortunate to have read it remembers it yet today. I loved this!
