Planning Spirit Events

Events need to be planned and planned well.

Remember the cliche: "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail"

Events must be planned from the beginning: "How do we get people excited about the event?" to the end: "Record the moment and evaluate your results."

•  While watching the video – think about: the following points:
  1. Why do some people hold back from getting involved in school?
  1. Scared, don't want people to think they are weird,  intimidated, rejection, want to get through school as fast as possible, embarrassed, trying to fit in, insecure, don't want to be bullied. 
  2. What are some examples of driver vs. passenger behavior?
  1. Drivers are the people who take the lead, passengers are people trying to fit in, Drivers take control where as the passengers just watch from the side lines.

  1. Finding your inner personality and who your real friends are, some become more involved, you become a young  man or women, time demands are a lot heavier, you become more independent ( not relying on parents and teachers as much), some friends change in high school. 
  4. Which choices or actions do we postpone?
  1. Communicating with people outside of the group, homework,  future plans or choices, traveling, spending time with family and friends, sacrifice time with family, saving money.
