How Students Take Control Their Lives

How can Students take Control of their lives

Thesis Statement

When we are young most of us are taught manors, respect how to treat people. We are also taught how to do chores and school work. All of this is shaping us for our future. It is also teaching us how one day to take control of our own lives and destinies.

Each day you have the ability to make the choice to take control of your life, or to let it control you. you can either be proactive, or you can let circumstances call the shots. To take control of your life or exercise personal leadership is to take responsibility for yourself and for every area of your life. It means being connected with your values, your vision
The quality or character trait that separates those who succeed and those that do not, is a positive attitude and an unshakable belief in themselves. They do not let negative thoughts or obstacles get in the way of ultimate achievement. Those who cannot maintain control of their lives quite often want to give up at first sign of trouble or difficulty. When that happens, all else seems to unravel as well, and they mistakenly feel they have no control of anything at all in their lives. This has happened to me in past sometimes things happen. You might start drinking or doing drugs when you have never done that before. It really starts to your ability to keep control of things around you. The great thing in life you can lift your head up and learn from your mistakes. I am sure glad of that because I sure have made a lot of them and I am still here fighting.
