\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Good day, Soldiers!<\/p>\n The first official day of Toastmasters took place today. The morale was high and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. Talk of the \u201cicebreaker speech\u201d was the main topic on everyone\u2019s minds and was discussed by many in the dorms.<\/p>\n Most of the PEP brothers are focused on studying for this week\u2019s test, while others are completing homework assigned for our business plan completion. Servant-Leaders are in full swing, providing much-needed help to all the Soldiers of Spring \u201818. Learning from the graduates helps current participants advance quickly.<\/p>\n As the day progressed, Toastmasters became a reality. Heartfelt speeches of major events and experiences flowed from the speakers. Many individuals executed the difficult task well. We ended the day with a sense of accomplishment and prepared ourselves for the next set of challenges.<\/p>\n Cason M. (a.k.a. \u201cSloth\u201d)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Today was full of productivity, as well as insight into the many opportunities PEP has in store. Days like these can be exhausting. With the various assignments along with new ones given weekly on top of the long hours spent in the classroom, current class brothers seemed to feel slightly overwhelmed, and possibly discouraged at times. But when guest speakers like Bryan K. come, it helps to lift up our spirits. We would like to give a special thanks to Bryan K. for helping us see how blessed we are to be a part of something so special!<\/p>\n Harry B. (a.k.a. \u201cBaby Bus Driver\u201d)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We, the Soldiers of Spring \u201918, looked outstanding today as we progressed through another day in Bert S.\u2019s class. This man is a business powerhouse, and we certainly looked up to him as we continued our journey through this program. Today, we discussed Mission Statements and Strategy in Chapter 5 of our entrepreneurship curriculum. It is fitting to discuss such things, for Soldiers strategize about missions all day, just like our primary mission to conquer Phase Two and move on to graduation day. Carry on, Soldiers of Spring \u201918!<\/p>\n Andres F. (a.k.a. \u201cThe Little Engine That Could\u201d)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n What better way to spend our day than with our very own Tony M., who came to speak to us about the importance of two of our 10 Driving Values: Excellence and Execution. It was absolutely an experience that all of my brothers enjoyed. After hearing him speak with such fire and enthusiasm, we left the classroom feeling good and ready for what tomorrow has to offer. May God continue to bless everyone!<\/p>\n Zachary F. (a.k.a. \u201cWaldo\u201d)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Hello everyone! I hope all is well and you had as good of a day as we did today! It started with an early morning filled with great personal finance knowledge as we started our first day of Living in the Village<\/em>. It looks to be a very promising class so far.<\/p>\n After class, we had six pray-outs to do. We said some farewells and goodbyes to our PEP brothers going back into the free world. There was a lot of encouraging, inspiring and tear-jerker sentiments shared with our brothers. Thank you Soldiers of Spring \u201818 for amazing spirit and dedication. Keep up the good work, because it will lead us to graduation. Hoorah! God bless!<\/p>\n Daniel L.

Struggles are going to come whether we like them or not, but it\u2019s what we do with them when they come that matters. It all starts with our perspective \u2013 do we see what happens as a problem or an opportunity?<\/p>\n When you make a mistake, you can choose to understand where you went wrong so that it never happens again. At the end of the day, it\u2019s up to you how your life turns out \u2013 so which way will you go?<\/p>\n Michael G.
