You have two homework assignments to complete this week. You can email them to me or can write them and hand them in on Monday when we return to school. Either way, the assignments are due by class time on Monday.
Remember, my email is waltershealthprhs@gmail.com
All of you should have emailed me your Emotional Health Strengths and Weaknesses (see homework 2/10 posting on this blog). If you have not done so, you still need to email me your email address so I can have a contact list for each class. You may not get credit for this assignment because it is late, but I still need your address.
Assignment 1
Write a composition (a couple paragraphs) on the biggest influences of your life. Explain how one family member, one friend and one experience (positive or negative) have influenced the development of your personality.
For each influence (family member, friend, event) include a description of the person/event, the positive and negative things about this influence, and how this influence has shaped who you are today.
Write how your life might be different if you had never met this person or experienced the event.
