Peak Novel Study: Blog # 1: Sharing Your Success

Think about a time when you thought you couldn't accomplish what you set out to accomplish, but then you did! At the risk of sounding mushy, how did you feel at first? Why was this goal so important to you? What were some of the obsticals that stood in your way? How did you feel once you persisted and achieved your goal? For those of you thinking, "Geez, Mrs. Hribal- I don't have anything like that to write about"- try this...write about a goal or dream that you do have. What's stopping you? What do you think you will feel once you accomplish this goal?

Mrs.Schroeder-Hribal

As a teacher we're encouraged to stay up to date on professional courses. I wanted to take a certain course for English teachers, but I knew it was going to be a TON of work...I tried to put the course off for a couple of years. I was nervous about whether or not I would be able to keep up with the assignments. I got accepted into the course this October. I started getting excited about being a student again, but as soon as I got my first assignment my anxiety level hit the roof- the reading for the task was VERY difficult. I never thought I could get through it- but with a lot of patience, re-reading, and the help of researching the stuff I didn't know, I was able to pull off an 'A' on the project! I'm so happy to report, I've passed the course with straight A's. I feel even more successful now as a teacher because I was able to succeed in the course! (P.S. if I didn't take the course, you would not be working on this blog right now!!)

When i played for the icequeens i didnt think that i could do it becuase all the other girls were so fast and really good! Over the nect few practices i felt a little bit better but i was about to have a much larger shock then i ever thought of... When we went into our first tournament and then realissed just how fast the other girls were and they were fast!. and to my surprise i was just as fast as them... but what really surprised me was the fact that my whole hockey team knew that i could do it. ! and i did. our team one the A,A, and then AA championships and it was so much fun! And in the last game of the AA game i recived player of the game! and now.. i cant wait untill next year!

I have never really succeed at anything important. My goals include waking up on time for school tommorow, buying a horse and remembering to feed my cat.
Pretty boring.

When I went Up-North to Grundy lake the whole way up tehre I was talking about how I'm going to jump off all the cliffs and jump into the water. I was so excited to do it, but when we actually climbed up the cliff and were staring down below at the water WAY down there, WOW! I was very scared. I watched as my family and other people jump off and come back up fine for a while hours being very bored, but I could just not get myself to do it. After a while i figured i might enver get a chance to do this type of thing again and i better make the best of it and just try and have fun. So i strapped on a life jacket because there was no way I was jumping 25ft without it! and I counted to 3 and before I knew it i was screaming at the top of my lungs and having a blast! I was actually sad when it was over, so i climbed back up the mountain and took off the life jacket and just jumped! WOW it was even more fun there second time ! :P

At first i felt really afraid to do it but i knew somewhere deep down that i could accomplish it.

I think that some of the obsticals that stoof in my way at first was my fear of heights. Because jumping 25ft down may not sound high, but it really is.

After I finally achieved my goal I felt AMAZING! I wouldn't even leave after 5 hours of constantly jumping and climbing back up again [with a few breaks in between.]

I'm really proud of myslef and I hope that a get to do something like that again real soon ! :)

My goal is to become a Veterinarian in the future and take care of horses. Even get my own. The only thing that is stopping me is my age and the knowledge taht u/I will need to know. I would really like to help all of those suffering animals and then give them all a caring family that will take care of that particular pet. <3

Kirstin says.....This goal was trying to help some one from being bullied and I achieved the goal. I felt proud and like I could do that again if anything like that were to happened again. The person who had been bullied sure felt good because the person now knows that no ones going to be picking on the person again and that they can feel safe and play again and have fun.

one goal that i have achieved was when i made the rep football team and became a reciever. it was important because i really wanted to make it and our team did really good(made it to the finals) some of the obsticals that were in my way were that i was little in height and so for me to be a reciever, it was diffucult to be one but a lot of nights,me and my dad would practice
