Week 10<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Monday March 4, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we in the Spring Class of 2019 had our weekly\nToastmasters class. Toastmasters International is a class where participants\ngive speeches, in a formal setting, in front of their peers. Their peers then\ncritique the speeches with the goal of helping those speaking to become better\npublic speakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speeches themselves can be on a wide variety of topics,\nand each speaker is evaluated by his peers. The general purpose of this is to\ngive positive feedback and to encourage our brothers on what they should work\non. Today\u2019s speeches were upbeat and uplifting. People spoke on having a vision\nfor their lives, being properly prepared, having goals and what their future\nmay hold. Every speech was meant to encourage and inspire, and that is exactly\nwhat they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name that our class chose, Conquerors of Spring \u201919, is\na fitting title. We have all managed to conquer our fears and are constantly being\ntransformed in order to become the caliber of men that we were created to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class started with an explosion of energy as we started the\nphoto shoot for our business cards and began our journey of planning for our\nfuture endeavors. Our Servant-Leaders are always there to empower us with every\nspeech and video that we view. We are learning to be men of vision, preparing a\nnew foundation to stand on once we are released. With all of the tools that PEP\nis bestowing upon each and every one of us, we can reach for the stars. And\nreach we will. No longer will old wounds or habits handicap any of us. We are\nbecoming authentic businessmen. Each of us are truly blessed to be able to\nparticipate in this program. There is nothing holding any of us back, except\nour old attitudes and behavior. However, since we are now the Conquerors of\nSpring, not even our pasts can stop us. We are truly becoming the masters of\nour own destiny. Each of us stands tall and proud, for we know that this is just\nthe beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, my brothers and I, known as Conquerors of Spring \u201919,\nattended Mr. Brian T.\u2019s Entrepreneurship class. We have been studying all week\nlong in preparation of our test. After entering the classroom, we began\ncomparing notes and quizzing one another. Once we prayed in, we readied\nourselves for the test over Chapter 7. However, we were in for a big surprise;\ninstead, we would take the long-awaited Names Test. It was time to find out how\nwell we knew the names of our fellow classmates. Many of us were relieved to\nput this test behind us, while others were happy not to be taking the Chapter 7\ntest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Name\u2019s Test was over with, we were presented with\na PowerPoint presentation on Chapter 7 by our awesome teacher Brian \u201cSuper\nSidetrack\u201d T. At the end of class, we received our Integrity Selling<\/em> books, which will instruct us in the art of\nselling ourselves and our products by employing integrity and honesty. PEP is steadily\nincreasing our workload; still, we know that it is for our benefit. We can all\nhonestly say that PEP is shaping us to become better men. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, many of us had computer lab. We are working on\nprograms such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The Excel program gives us good\ninsight concerning spreadsheets and how they work. It is very useful for\nkeeping track of a business\u2019 finances. We were also shown how we can utilize it\nto structure our personal finances as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of what type of business we plan to pursue,\nwhether it be manufacturing or distribution, we will find this program to be\ncrucial and a great timesaver. The spreadsheet can breakdown every aspect of\nour personal and business lives. Some of us also looked into our business\nprojections and were impressed by what we saw. We understand that some\nadjustments will need to be made, but with the training and tutoring that we\nare receiving, everything will turn out just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, the class of Spring \u201919, feel that in order to lead a\nfull life, one must remain persistent in pursuing progress. Today was a great\nday for our PEP brothers housed at the Estes Unit. They have accomplished\nsomething truly great: Graduation! We work hard in the Class of Spring \u201919,\nputting one foot in front of the other on this path that will lead to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many of us, having today off had begun to feel like a\nrelief. Then, we remembered that we had homework that is due on Monday, not to\nmention the chapters on Living in the\nVillage<\/em> that continues to pile up. Still, we understand that satisfaction\nand success can only be achieved through hard work and dedication. Everyone in\nSpring \u201919, stay focused and encouraged; we are almost at the finish line.  Thank you, PEP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKeep your head up.\nYou\u2019ve made it through 100% of your worst days.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not know who the\noriginator of this quote was, but I know who sent it to me. This is one of my\nfavorite quotes because it gives me encouragement when I need it the most. On\nthe days that seem the roughest, I need to hear something that is both factual\nand cannot be argued against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When days of despair\ncome upon you and the world around you seems the darkest, remember the\nfollowing instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1- Put one foot in front of the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2- Repeat Step 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
