Guest Speaker: Adult Education Director, Todd Delay

Adult Education Director, Todd Delay shared his response to the NCTS MYP unit question:

How do my choices impact my personal development. 

Mr. Delay spoke to NCTS students about the cause and effect relationship between their choices and consequences. Delay inspired students to make decisions that will result in positive consequences.

"He talked about the Boomerang Effect that we are talking about in English. The Boomerang Effect is when you do something good and then something good comes back to you." -Kordell 

"Mr. Delay talked about his mentor and how we need mentors to keep us on the right track. I am going to talk to my mentor more often." -Cordell 

"I really liked the part where he talked about how we will all go through challenging stuff. He told us that we will just have to keep our head up and face the challenge in a way that is good. I liked that part." 
-Yemi

"He said that we should find a mentor. I have a mentor. I just need to be more mindful and talk to him more." -Cameron

"He said he works with adults who didn't earn a diploma and now they are struggling to try to get an education. We don't have to be like that. We can make decisions now to take a path that will lead us down a successful path. Everyone's path is different; it all depends on a person's choices." -Victoria

"He reminded me that it is important to know what I want to be in life and make a plan now, while I am in high school. I want to start to reach my goal to be an RN now, while I am in high school."
-Ronshae

Guest Speaker: NCHS Basketball Coach, Mr. Mitchell

Coach Mitchell shared his response to the NCTS MYP unit question:

How do my choices impact my personal development. 

"Mr. Mitchell taught me that whenever bad things happen in life, you should use these experiences to become stronger! Don't quit and work harder! Now, I will try to become more successful." -Xavier 

"I learned not to let the bad things that happen in life affect me or determine the type of person I am going to be. I will not shut down, even if tragedy strikes." -Alex

"I learned to forgive but not forget. Once you move on with life, you can look back and realize how much better you have become." -Jodecie

"I learned that holding everything in doesn't solve anything, but it forms stress and anger instead. It is important to find a person who you can talk to so they can help you." -Ronshae
