Emotional Intelligence

Whew!!! Wish I had.....

Developing emotional intelligence sometimes requires trial-and-error learning. Write about a time when you or someone you observed did NOT use emotional intelligence and what you learned from the experience. Please do not use the name of anyone in school. Make sure that you:

1. Describe the situation, and say how you (or the person you observed) handled it. (If it was

you, say how you felt about it.)

2. Say how you (or the person you observed) might have used emotional intelligence to

improve the situation.

3. Say what you learned from the experience.

Goals

Do you think  it is important for people to set goals? Why or why not? Is it important if you are old? If you are young? Middle aged? Successful? Not very successful?

Where are you going?

“If you don't know where you are going,
you'll end up someplace else.” 
― Yogi Berra

NO BULLIES ALLOWED!!

Discuss a time when you were bullied by somebody. How did it make you feel? How old were you? Did anybody stick up for you? Did it happen more than once? Did you tell an adult? Did it result in a fight? Do you still know that person? What is your relationship like with that person now?
