Finding Your Spark--Advisory Week 2

The advisory lesson for this week focused on conversations with student about what "sparks" their interests.  Students discussed the quote "Follow your passion, and success will follow you" and how that quote can relate to them and their lives.  Students also had the opportunity to view short video clips that show characters in movies who found their "Spark" in life.  The links to these video clips can be found by clicking HERE.
Research shows that knowing about, and nurturing the "spark" in your life will help you be happier and more successful in life.  This same research also shows that 1/3 of youth haven't yet identified their "spark."  Over the course of this year, we will be helping students discover their "spark" and helping them to understand that their "spark" can change over time.
Take some time with your student in the next week to discuss what they enjoy doing.  Have them share what they think their initial "spark" is.  Talk with them about what the "spark" in your life is and how it motivates you to keep going on a daily basis.
