RIPPLES & REFLECTIONS
AP1.1A I Have What?
- Ripple
- Reflection #1 : What do you have in terms of money, time, skills, and attitude?
- Reflection #2: Which of your resources (money, time, skills, attitude) do you feel you have most abundantly?
- Reflection #3: Which of the resources do you think you have that many other people lack?
- Reflection #4: Are there any particular types of resources you want to try to improve?
AP1.1B But I Really Want That!
- Ripple
- Reflections #1: What is the smallest goal you have right now? What will it take to achieve that goal?
- Reflections #2: What is a larger, long term goal of yours? Have you started taking steps to make that goal happen?
- Reflections #3: What is an example of something you really want but don’t really need?
AP1.1C So How Do I Get There?
AP1.1D I Can Do What?
- Ripples
- Reflection #1: What are some specific examples of things people have done that have made an impact in your life?
- Reflection #2: Do you have to do something philanthropic to have an impact for good? How about if you want to run a business and make lots of money?
- Reflection #3: What kinds of impact do you think you could have? How would you like to impact your immediate future (say, the next year?) How about the next 5 years?
- Reflection #4: Would you like to have an impact on the world too? In what way?
- Reflection #5: What happens if you choose to use your resources in other ways? Maybe you decide to take up smoking and spend your money on cigarettes? What about the student who sacrifices study time for video gaming, or saves money for lunches to buy headphones? Do those decisions really have consequences that affect more than the immediate future? Is all impact good?
