Making Good Choices by Purvis Atkinson Pdf

Making Good Choices is a life guide for teens. The premise of Choices is that there are a number of life lessons which, if they are understood and acted on early in a students life, can have a profound positive impact. This book reinforces values and moral behavior. Choices draws a distinct line between good and bad, helping students to understand the long term consequences of the two. It explains the importance of roles and relationships between a teen and his parents, siblings, friends and teachers. Choices takes the various tools available to the average young student and helps him chart a course of success in life. Choices should be read before, as preparation for, a book like What Color is Your Parachute. The difference between this book and What Color is Your Parachute is that it concentrates on the root causes of failure and unhappiness and not just the end goal of a good paying job. There are many reasons why some of us are not ready to zero in on the color of our parachute. This book is for those average students who first need to find their humanity, empathy, sense of community and self worth before they go blazing into the world. This book is for the student whose potential is not the concern of any other book.
