Hmm. So we have had nearly fifty minutes to work independently today. I understand that many of you had technical issues that we had to workout. However I am very concerned about the independent work ethic that this group has displayed today. One element that is super important to this class, academic success in your later years of high school and especially in college is the ability to work independently. Do what you are supposed to do. See the number one sign of good leadership is doing what your are supposed to do. Do what you say you're going to do. So you said "oh Ill work on my weeblys, Oh im good I know that my blog is good to go." So when many of you miss the deadlines for the blogs on friday I wont feel bad. That is a part of being college ready. Being able to advocate for yourself. Being able to bucket down and knock out work when you need to and being able to focus when no one is on your back because when you get to college mommy and daddy will not be there to make sure you're successful. Instead it is all on you. If you choose to waste your time, Oh Well. The deadlines are there. If you miss them because you choose to talk and socialize, that stinks. I would seriously reflect on the level of commitment many of you showed today. If it continues this may be a long school year for you.
Happy Blogging. Mr Rudy. Been there, done that. Seen this type of work ethic- it doesn't end up pretty.
