How can improving self esteem help in school? How are you going to try to stay postivie to help the kids?

Having a good self esteem in high school will be really helpful. If you have a low self-esteem then you wont think your good enough and you wont do as good as you can in your classes. Your grades wont be as good as they could be. Also if you have a low self esteem then you wont have asmany friends to help you. Friends will bring your self esteem up and help you to do better in life.
Im going to stay positive by not thinking about how bad the kids are or how hard it is but I'm going to think about how much it is helping them. I wont focus on the bad parts and I'll only ficus on the good ones. Some kids actually want to do the tutoring and they wan to bring up the grades. If I keep thinking how much it is helping them then I wont think so much about how the kids that dont want to do this and bringing them down.

Attention

You do not need to dedicate your entire life to a person to give attention. Sometimes all that is required is a few minutes, or time enough to share a compliment. Does some "one" you know need attention - today? Please reflect upon that thought. How will you give your attention to a needed freshman? What are some of the obstabcles you might have to overcome in oreder to give them your attention?

I can give my attention to a freshman in a few different ways. Freshmen are easy to please. Any kind of attention at all that you give them that is positive will help them. Some will be rude and not accept what you say to them but some will always remember it.

One way to give attention is very easy. Complimenting them will boost there self esteem and make them feel better about themselves. If a Junior or Senior goes up to a freshman and says that they like their shirt, it will make the freshman feel good. It is not that hard to say a few nice words to a freshman.

If a freshman is doing bad in class, let them know your there to help them if you want them to. Tutoring them and helping boost up there grade is also giving them attention. It takes mor time out of your day then just giving a simple complment but it will really help them.

Many give of their time, vision, encouragement, and wisdom to benefit others. What do you have to share - talents, humor, hobbies, belongings, hope, compliments? What motives are behind "what you do" for others?

I do not have to much to share with others. I am always encouraging and give people compliments to boost their self-esteem. I try to make everyone feel good about themselves. I do not put people down unless I'm joking and they know I'm joking. I try to do what I can for people.

My hobbies are not anything special. Whenever I can I go mudding either in a truck or on a 4-wheeler. That is not really a hobby that is helping anyone. I also go shopping a lot which could be considered as helping others. Whenever I buy new clothes I clean out my closet and give away my close to people who need them.

Whenever I do something for someone else I just think that if I do for them then they will help me when I need it. If I treat people good then hopefully they will treat me good in return. I'm a normal teenager so I do not just do things for nothing I usually look for something in return.

When opportunity knocks...

When opportunity knocks, don't complain about the noise. You have to take all the good with the bad. Don't look for the bad in everything look for the positive. You have to take the good opportunities along with the bad. Have a good attitude about every opportunity.
