The Rising Stars Program has had a great impact in my life. Five things I am doing differently now since I started this process are I've been setting goals and reaching them, have a positive attitude, strengthen my leadership skills, scheduled my time management skills, and communicate better with others. This year has been extremely stressing because of college. I had set goals to complete my college applications before January and I accomplished them successfully. Also, my time management skills have improved tremendously. I go to work and still have enough time to do my school work. My parents and I never really communicated well, but the Rising Stars Program helped me start a great relationship with them. This program has changed my life completely, especially for the best. .
The positive changes I have made in my life are that I go through my day with a daily schedule. This helps me manage my time and set my mind straight without any stress. I have been setting goals and actually completing them. Also, I have learned that my participation in the leadership process indicates that I want to succeed. .
My overall evaluation of the Rising Stars Program is that it is the best program to exist. It shows me that becoming the best that I can be will be a lifelong process for me. It can be one that is filled with happiness, satisfaction, and accomplishments if I continue to use the principles and skills that I have learned. .
Of course, the program should continue. This program includes mental, social, physical, career and financial, home and family life, and ethics and belief goal. What more can you want in a program that will help us become and make something of ourselves. We can be a rising star!.
