There are also some great things you can learn at school that your teachers will not actually show you. Here they are:
- Learn the art of discipline.
Take advantage of your free time during or between classes to finish your assignments.
- Learn to negotiate.
Develop your skills working with teachers, coaches, and fellow students to "give and take" in order to reach your goals.
- Learn to say no.
Classmates will ask you to cheat, lie, gossip, lust, vandalize - you name it. Put no in your vocabulary.
- Learn to love without respect of persons.
You will meet people every day who don't appeal to you. Love them with Christ's love in spite of your feelings.
