#55 Be the best person you can be.

"Throughout life, you are going to be lonely at times, have your heart broken, feel as if something is missing from your life.  Pain and heartache are part of life.  With all of these you will grow, enjoy life, and become the type of person you can be proud of.  You will be a stronger, healthier and happier person if you have laughter, family, adventure, good food, challenge, change and the quest for knowledge."

This is life knowledge, and a lot for a class of students in one year.... However, I see where the author wanted to take his students.  I don't completely agree with every Rule, but know his heart was in the right place, and he was seeing a vision of the future for his students with every attempt.  He has given his best.   My best may be slightly off this rail ... but overall, a very good read.  













































































































#54 Seize the day

 This is about living each day to the fullest.   Story of yet another field trip, doing things never done before and facing your fears. 

Ride that rollercoaster.  

#53 Always be honest

 Even if you have done something wrong, it is best to admit it, because any consequence is more easily addressed the earlier the problem is realized.  

Long story in this one, but worth the read.  

True 


























#52 Accept that you are going to make mistakes. Learn from them and move on.

 We will all make mistakes and moving on is a great choice to make, but the accompanying story line, was too much for my mind.  

#51 Live without regrets

 Life lessons on experience... something students have yet to achieve.   Not sure about this one either, as some of my regrets brought the best lessons.  

#50 Enjoy life

 Even in the face of adversity.  Know your limits, and that you cannot always have others see your point of view. 


A rule?  

#49 Stand up for what you believe in

 This one punishes a good student for an offense of not returning an assignment (a small piece of blue paper).   To serve the greater good.   I'm a little uneasy about this one too.  However, he believes it was necessary 

You can decide for yourself.  Read it.
