//**Habit 1 - Be proactive.**// We defined that as being prepared.



 * A story about being proactive, by Jasmin**

The night before my first day of school, I picked out my clothes and my backpack with the supplies inside. I told my mom to wake me up at 7:00 a.m. so I could take a shower. Then I went to sleep. If I hadn't been, I wouldn't know what clothes to wear and I also wouldn't have had time to take a shower.


 * Some poetry about being proactive with your emotions:**



My face was turning red Letting my anger take over my mind Fists are closing, ready to punch anything Then I stop and tell myself No one can hurt me on the inside. By Noah



Anywhere, any day My emotions can take play. I'm in control and I can take charge, My emotions can not be large. By Jessica



When I am sad, I walk my dog. Sometimes I create a glog! I also like to watch my turtles. I think they kind of look like Yertles! By Spencer



I have some problems I write or tell I really like to tell my teddy Sometimes I hide or run away And say, "Get away!" by Grace
