“A Better You” Project Examples

• “My goal was to eliminate junk food from my diet for one week. I ate only nutritious snacks to see if I could live without junk and learn to eat better. I survived! After a few days of craving, I didn’t even want a candy bar. If I can do without it for a week, I can do without it forever! I have substituted juice for sodas and am so proud!”

“A Better You” Project Examples

• “I resolved to do one hour of homework every day after school. I made a chart to help me check up on myself. I also told three people my goal and asked them to check up on me. I was successful. It really helped me to have a chart. My attitude toward school changed because I was prepared for my classes.”

“A Better You” Project Examples

• “I chose to learn sign language because I wanted to improve my relationship with my friend who is deaf. To do this, I rented videos on sign language and read books. With several weeks of practice, I was able to hold short conversations with my friend. I could also interpret to our other friends. Learning this new skill has been the most rewarding experience I have ever had.”
