***Copy each question in your notebooks to be turned in!!!  After watching the video link answer each and turn in on my desk!!! (or for virtual or Alternative School Students---go to the Google Classroom and submit your answers there!!!)

1. It’s easy to say you want to do something - you need commitment and dedication to see it 
through. What helps you with keeping a commitment. What derails you? 

2. Describe a time you were dedicated to doing something and you succeeded or failed. How 
did you feel? What happened next as a result? 

3. When Donald was thinking about quitting football he decided to stick with it after thinking 
about who he was playing for. Who do you work hard for? Why?  

4. Sometimes we fall victim to peer pressure to look cool or gain the respect of others. Donald 
says that people knew what he stood for and that helped people respect him. What do you 
think he means by this and do you stand for something that could help you gain respect? 

5. What do you think Donald means by putting on your blinders? 

6. Have you ever had a dream come true or a wish fulfilled? What did it feel like?
