OES Vision: Building Foundations for Every Students' Success
7 Habits/TLiM:
While reading 7 Habits, I came across the sentence, "Look at the word responsibility - "response-ability" - the ability to choose your response." This sentence had a lasting impact on me. While in the moment of a situation, this may not always be easily practiced for me...I do take the time to reflect on my response to a situation verbally and physically after it has occurred to think about what my body felt like and how my words were said. In the future, the more I think about it and am purposeful with how I respond, the better I can be with my ability to proactively respond.
