- PRIDE: I am the expert!

• I survived and I am willing to pass on my experience
  

“Writing my story I wanted to show that I have a lot to say too, I have been through things... I have things to say, I don’t know how to say but I have seen and people don’t know… My problems, I solve alone, I don’t want people to feel sorry for me...it was hard but there are much…oh…much harder lives than mine. I don't need...and my sister is an angel to prove, I kept her innocent...I would not let anybody to touch her, I took care of her”. (Speech from a left brain student who is 18 years old)

• I manage a pretty tide schedule of parties

- KNOWN OR NOT: The fall of a tree will affect all of us

• Whether we know it or not, it still affects all of us

After debating if a tree had or not fallen if nobody was there to heard it:

Student 1

I would like to understand better what you mean “still affects all of us”

Student 2

Something is happening across the street that we don't know, but it still affects us to some point.

Student 1

It is a good point…Why didn’t you say your view?

Student 2

It is not my view, I suppose this is what the elders would say but when you are a student, you're not a "credible source"

- FUTURE: Passing on information...

• What I learn on school, I pass to my teens and their friends
  

Student 1
I am mom of two teenagers. I am like a friend. I know children use to have lots of problem at home so my house is always full of their friends. I like my house to be a safe environment for them, a place they know they can come and stay... Now I have a computer and internet. I am going to do tests with them, and helping them with the learning strategies.

Student2
You should take note of the password. I hope the password will work after the course is completed. Your idea of teaching other teenagers is great!
