1. “If you think you can do a thing, or think you can’t, you’re right.” -Henry Ford What’s he really trying to say here?
2. What’s your first impression? How hard do you think she had to work to get here? Do you think she ever thought about quitting?
3. How do you react when times are tough or when you experience failure? Does it make you work harder, or do you shut down? Think of an accomplishment that you worked HARD to achieve. Chances are, it didn’t come easy, and that you screwed up a few times before you got it right!
4. Writing prompt: How does our attitude, our self image and our self confidence affect our performance?
5. Your writing assignment should be a paragraph in length…75-100 words, or in the neighborhood of half a page. I am looking for a “restatement” of the question in your own words, some “who- what-when-where-why” type details, some evidence or an example from your own life or someone you’ve seen. Good spelling and grammar is a plus. Be as honest as you feel comfortable being.
