Week 7<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week in Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday February 11, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is another beautiful day on God\u2019s green earth, and we\nare grateful to be alive. We had Toastmasters today, our public speaking class.  Our public speaking skills have really improved.\nWe are learning how to communicate professionally in a business atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEP is an awesome program, and it has a lot of benefits.  If one applies the information this program\nteaches to one\u2019s life, one will prosper and enjoy the fruits of his labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are constantly motivating and encouraging each other to\nmove forward in all areas of the program. Sometimes it gets a little\nchallenging, but nothing that comes easy is worth having. At the end, all the\nhard work will pay off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday morning at 7: 20 am, we heard\nthe call to battle.  A voice came over\nthe intercom saying \u201cSpring \u201919, report to the PEP classroom.\u201d We lined up at\nthe door, ready for war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We marched down the hall and entered the\nPEP classroom. Our leader today was Shawn G., who did an outstanding job\nteaching us the Economics of One Unit. Next Wednesday, we will have a test on\nthis material, putting our skills to the test. We will add, subtract, multiply,\ndivide \u2026 and conquer!  We are the\nConquerors of Spring \u201919!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, the Conquerors of Spring \u201919, were up and ready for\ncomputer lab this morning. We are learning Microsoft Office programs such as\nWord, Excel, and PowerPoint. This class is a blessing. Many of us did not know\nanything about computers or their programs before we took this class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to have Toastmasters every Monday. This is\na new challenge for most of us because of the fear of speaking in public.\nToastmasters is one of many tools that PEP is providing us. These tools will\nhelp us become authentic businessmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are PEP, and we live by our 10 Driving Values. We will\nlead with a Servant-Leader mentality, for we are united by brotherly love. If\none falls, we will pick him back up. We are PEP, and we \u201clive between the wings\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We showed some love and shared some positive words during\npray-outs this morning. It is inspiring to see these men who are about to go\nhome and still applying PEP\u2019s 10 Driving Values to their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our numbers grow smaller by the day, and there is a bond\nforming between brothers. It is the kind of bond that comes from having gone\nthrough the fire together, and our brotherhood is becoming stronger week by\nweek. Last week, we leaned on each other in preparation for our Venture Capital\nPanel event. This week, you can find us in small groups discussing word problems\nas we learn about the Economics of One Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of those in the next class arrived this week, and all\neyes are on the Conquerors of Spring \u201919. A lot of us have stepped into\nleadership roles in our dorms, and still others have admirably volunteered to\nshare their knowledge and experience as Servant-Leaders for the Fall \u201919 Leadership\nAcademy class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today started off as any other day. We woke up around 7 a.m.\nwaiting to be called down to the PEP classroom. We were given a lecture on\nChapters Eight and Nine from our Living\nin the Village<\/em> textbook. This class provides insights about financial\nliteracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall \u201919 was called to the PEP room for a big PEP welcome.\nThis welcome included a \u201cheart check,\u201d which consisted of writing the whole PEP\nstudy guide in four days. This is a lot of homework, and it will separate those\nwho really want to change from those who are just going through the motions. Welcome\nto the PEP revolution! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cPeople who are important\nthink about others. People who think they are important think about\nthemselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

~Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have started to live in a \u201cme first\u201d society,\nso everyone is looking out for themselves. People walk around with a sense of\nself-importance that rots the environment. Problems do not get solved because\neveryone is only concerned about personal problems. Important people do not\nthink that way because they know they possess a voice that will not go unheard.\nThey know they have the power to better others\u2019 lives and conditions. To be\nimportant is to realize all human beings are important. All of our lives have\nmeaning, and we all have goals and dreams. You are important, but so is\neverybody else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
