Not all of the young people want to fall into the ways of so many of their peers. Unfortunately many of them don’t know of an alternative.<br /><br />Further, thank you for taking action on the results of your search . . . many search, but few actually take the next step and act on their findings!<br /><br />You are providing those you touch with an alternative. . .<br /><br /><b>THANK YOU!!!!</b>JohnBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817579608559685596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25407346.post-75005135670114600102006-12-05T08:22:00.000-06:002006-12-05T08:22:00.000-06:00Thanks, Michael.

I'd get around, but always seemed to lack something (read:speed!). One summer I worked with a guy who showed me that confidence, belief in whatever you were doing was the key to being successful. Coming home one day I entered a corner I was having trouble with and just flung the bike over and powered on the gas like there was no tomorrow. It was a revelation. Suddenly every corner after that was smoother, faster and more fun. It was like getting to the point in a kayak roll where everything becomes repeatable roll after roll. Confidence - the belief that you can do it - is everything! Great post!<br />Begin your new class talking about why your students are good at something. Tell them to hang on to that feeling so they can use it in your course.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632365495050691161noreply@blogger.com
