Teen Trendsetters Program Analysis

As a troop, we gained public speaking skills that helped us to speak out and make a difference to get people’s attention. We gained better team building skills by splitting the work, while also working together and keeping our end of the work up to date to complete our award. So, that would also include more responsibility skills as well. And lastly, we gained advocacy skills that help us to connect with others around us to gain support of projects or differences we would like to make in our community. Our Take Action project had the impact of educating others and helping them to realize that the new or gently used books they had sitting around really didn’t have a purpose for them, but to donate them to someone who would love to have a book while in a dull hospital room would be wonderful. It helped to open the eyes of the public and let them see how much the hospitals really need these books and to spread the word to those around them as well. Through this continual chain, people will continue to understand the amount of books the hospital goes through versus the amount they receive, compelling them to continue to donate those books they no longer read to hospitals around them that would love to use them. Throughout this project, I lived the Girl Scout Promise and Law by working

I knew my transition from an ordinary visitor to a volunteer would be a new and exciting experience. My task in the Summer Reading Program was to register patrons, explain how the program works, and give out prizes at the end of each week. The number of children who registered for the program impressed me. I enjoyed working with these children, since I knew exactly where they got their excitement from. I would look forward to seeing the smiling faces of the children as they received their prizes. Their faces made me reminisce about the joyful moments I had as a child when I couldn't wait for the grand prize week of the Summer Reading Program.

Authors see that teenagers are going to be the one who help change the world and it is in every decade that a teenager will do that. Writing about teenagers helps other teenagers see that they are not the only ones going through a problem. Authors captures the coming of age for teenagers and tell the readers their journey. Influences are a major part of teenagers growing up. If they do not have the correct influence then they end up going down a wrong path but that does not mean they are stuck on that path. Every teenager in literature has a choose to make decisions if they want the path that will lead to greatness or not. Authors try to capture the true stories of what teenagers are going through. Even when they were writing them in the earlier

In these two texts, both authors informed their readers on how and why technology impacted society as well as introduced claims that these impacts were a main factors in human evolution. Schools should provide blue light for students because, according to the passages, it improves learning by making them more alert, allowing them to rest well enough to be prepared for school and giving them and help alleviate sleeping disorders among the students.

On June 15, 2015, Mark Gregston wrote an article entitled “Pushing Back Against a Teen Culture of Entitlement.” Gregston’s article emphasizes on reasons why teens are entitled and talks about how it can be stopped. Gregston lives in Longview, Texas and is founder and director of Heartlight, “a residential counseling center for struggling teens” (Gregston 1). Gregston is also an author, speaker, and radio host; making his background of communication acceptable. Gregston gives advice to teens showing how they can give back to their community or anyone that supports them. Gregston also states the parents should not do everything for their children, make them be responsible for themselves.

There are a variety of education programs that schools can use to bring about some sort of change for their students. Relating to drug abuse awareness and prevention, two programs commonly used are Teen Intervene and Project SUCCESS. Both programs have similar outcome in reducing the likelihood of using drugs and alcohol in young children, but they do so in different ways. Choosing the best program to implement into a local Lexington high school comes down to which program would successfully reach students of all backgrounds and needs, and that program is Project SUCCESS.

Talking Parents, Healthy Teens is a program consisting of eight weekly one-hour sessions that is offered in the workplace for parents of adolescent children in Southern California. This program aims to help parents acquire the ability to discuss sexual health topics. Talking Parents, Healthy Teens uses resources such as games, discussions, and role play to teach their children assertiveness and decision-making more effectively. A study by Schuster et.al tested a sample of 569 parents their adolescents randomly assigned to either attend the program or to a no-treatment control group. Participants were assisted at baseline and again one-week, three-month, and nine-month after completing the programs. Participants were to report having discussed

When I was in this program, I found that working with these young children was very rewarding. It was rewarding to me because I felt like I had a positive influence on them and their education. It made me happy to know that I was going to leave a mark on them and potentially help them flourish into a wonderful, well-rounded adult. Some of the challenges that I faced when working with these young children was communicating with them and their parents. Sometimes, the parents would get upset and wonder why we are

We have teens in our community that are thinking about or already doing drugs or cigars. One way to fix this is to make a teen center so teens aren’t provoked to take drugs or smoke. They’ll have activities such as art, music, and physical health. They can drive to the center and pay for a year or month to participate. They can head over after school and do their homework with the help of tutors that understood the subject that they’re struggling in. Therefore, they can be sure of finishing homework and can do an activity of their choice after.

Autonomy: This theory is interesting because there was a story about this in the media. I believe it was a few months ago where a young girl refuse chemo. The basics of this story was that a 17 year old teen had a treatable form of cancer but refused treatment. I didn’t look into her decision as to why she refuse chemotherapy but that what she had decided rather it based on her personal beliefs or religion maybe perhaps in some crazy way she doing it for someone else. However, superior court rule against this and I believe force the teen to get treatment. The court states the teen was not competent of making this decision based on her lack maturity. I actually am tore on this story to because I agree with one’s decision making but if I had cancer I would fight till the very end. Nevertheless, everyone has their own views and opinions on this.

I am always looking for ways to give back to my community. The Teen Council is a perfect opportunity to get to know the community better, to connect with teens and help solve their problems, while creating a positive impact on the community. The San Ramon community is large and sometimes it is difficult to understand and get familiarized with the whole area. As a member of the Teen Council, I will be able to discuss events, issues, and ideas that circulate around San Ramon with teens from all over the area. Each will have certain pieces of knowledge that can be connected together to form a way enable teens to engage with their community in a better way. Teens have been facing a lots of problems lately. From the stress of school work to acquiring a complete resume for college or work, teens in San Ramon have a lot to take in. As I am one of those many teens in this community, I have firsthand experience on how it feels, always trying to figure out a way deal with it. My contribution to the Council as one of its member would be to collaborate with the others to alleviate the stress on teens. As I am now a freshman in high school, I have four years left to make a positive impact in my community. And, a lot can be done in four years.

While being involved in the IB program and doing my Creative Active Service project I have been able to be exposed to different people of different cultures. Along with C.A.S, I try to broaden my horizons when it concerns the contribution to my community. Inluding,doing things that I never thought of doing in my life because I didn't like the idea or the belief that it would be boring. A few activities that I participate in is helping pre-K-2nd graders on reading and writing skills , once or twice a week depending on my schedule. I love being around kids and being able to interact with them on another level and just their thirst for knowledge. Not only do I like being surrounded by children, but also the elderly. As a result, I decided to participate

I think one reason that the author chose to write this particular book was to bring light to the terrible atrocities that were committed during the 1980s in the country of Guatemala. I feel that he felt that he had to show the world what it taken place in the small South American country the size of Tennessee, to inform the world of this terrible time in history. I think he also wrote it to show that teens in America really take their freedom and the opportunities they have for granted. In the mindset of most American youth we believe that anyone can grow up to be a millionaire, or we can all go to college and make something of our lives. Whereas in Guatemala young people such as Gabriella who are both poor and indigenous did not have an opportunity

The vivid description of how the adolescents were treated in the dorms enrages me since these young people are so innocent. They have been running from the evil oppressors their entire lives. They have seen their friends and family die and have watched themselves slowly die, also. I could never live after leaving my loved ones to die. I would be way, way, way too grief-stricken. However, I realize that they are forced to leave them behind in order to fend for themselves. I can not comprehend how Benson is still mentally sane after witnessing such terrible tragedies over and over again, day in and day out. How can one remain sane if they are constantly running from death? I believe that the event at the dorm along with having to constantly travel
