We have loved reading about different habits to develop during the teenage years. These habits help the student leaders in the class be a better influence on others. The students are also learning skills to use as leaders of school and important traits they can carry with them in their future endeavors. \r\n\r\nIn the class, we are able to read and study each chapter during the month and apply it to the projects we are planning. We also have time to discuss ways to implement the different habits described in the book. The author gives examples that are relatable and relevant to a teenager's life. Because of that, the students are always engaged in what is being taught.\r\n\r\nOn the days we read from the book and study the concepts being taught, the students come in excited to discover new ways to be effective leaders. They are often excited to share effects of what they have done to use what they learned from previous sections of the book.
