7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
In the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey brings 7 key things teens need to live a productive, open, and successful life to the table. Covey took 7 concepts teens are hesitant to tap into and made them easy to understand and adapt to.

Although each aspect of the habits were relatable to each aspect of my life, I was most engaged with habits 2:Begin with the end in mind, 3:Put First Things First, and Habit 4:Think Win-Win.

I have to juggle cheer, my music, my grades, my home life, and trying to manage a social life. When we read habit two it helped me realize whats most important to me. Writing a mission statement was one of the best things i’ve done for myself in awhile. I plan to use that everyday in my future and i believe it can guide me to live my life for me, not anyone else. I think habit 2 will better me both in my school and personal life because it taught me how to separate every aspect in my life and set time for each thing im juggling.
