Faith + School

I've gone through High School. I've gone through Post-Secondary. I've been in school my whole life. Basically, all I know is school.

High school is a time of decisions: What should I do when I graduate? Is that friend going to be a good influence in my life? Should I go to that party? Should I do this? Should I do that?

and...surprise! Post-secondary is pretty much the same thing!

So how do you make your decisions? And how do you integrate your faith and school?

In my life of school, I've picked up a few things....

MORALS & ETHICS & VALUES
Self check: When that exam is too hard, do you look at your neighbour's answer to 'double-check' your own? You procrastinated or you stayed out too late the night before. Do you give your teacher a made up excuse or do you frantically copy what your friend has written? Is it obvious to others that I value honesty and integrity?

[What the bible says]

CHOICES
Self check:

INFLUENCE
How others influence you
Self check: Are you constantly trying to keep up with the current trends? Do your friends persuade you to do stuff that you know is wrong? What motivates you?

How you influence others
Self check: When people look at me or talk to me, can they tell that there's something different about me? Do I encourage my friends to do the right thing, or do I encourage them to do what everyone else is doing, even if it's wrong?

PRIORITIES
Self check: What do you put first? School? Friends?
