Village Meadows Counselor Corner
This week during our Social-Emotional Learning time, we will focus on "The Big 3." These are three big ideas that we can all use in our daily lives: treat others right, make smart decisions, and maximize your potential.
One way that you can live out the Big Three is to first make sure you memorize what it is.
Make yourself a poster that says Treat Others Right, Make Smart Decisions and Maximize
Your Potential. Hang the poster somewhere in your room where you will see it daily
(bathroom mirror, bedroom door, etc.). Read over the Big Three and start each day being
mindful of how you can accomplish the Big Three.
Think about this...
The story of arguably the best basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, is a perfect
example of The Big Three. Michael Jordan is a 6 time NBA champion. He made 14 All-Star
game appearances and scored over 32,000 points in his professional basketball career, yet
he didn’t make his high school varsity basketball team when he tried out as a sophomore. He
spent that entire year using this disappointment as fuel to get better. After he worked very
hard and maximized his potential, he went on to make the team the following year and the
rest is history! Along the way, Michael also made smart decisions and treated others right in
order to achieve his dream of playing basketball with excellence.
