About Lesson
Key Concepts: values, goal-setting, self-awareness, personal growth
Students think about the qualities they admire in others and the kind of person they want to grow into. This lesson helps them understand that becoming that person requires intention — making choices that align with their values and goals.
We emphasize that everyone has a “future self” they are growing toward, and every decision in daily life guides that direction.
More Real-Life Examples:
- Values example: A student who values responsibility might finish homework before playing games.
- Character example: Someone who values courage might speak up when they see someone being bullied.
- Growth example: A student who wants better grades may create a plan to study 10 minutes more per day.
- Identity example: A person who values kindness may practice noticing people who feel left out.
- Long-term example: Students who care about the environment may choose reusable items or help clean a local park.
Students learn that values are not just “nice words” — they are directions for how to live. And setting small, achievable goals helps them practice becoming their ideal future self.
