‘Influences’ – The Power of the Word


In our lives we are continually faced with positive and negative influences.

The people who influence us most are the people who will shape who we are.

How can we be successful if this is the case?

Who should we listen to, who shapes who we are? What qualities should we respect in order to make informed choices?

Through group discussion, debate and questioning students explored the concept of ‘Influence’

After feedback and sharing of thoughts, students wrote down their final comments. Showing how they have developed their own ideas and achieved the intended ‘Learning Intention’

I make sure that I get influenced by the right people.

But the right people are not always your friends. The right people are probably your parents. Your parents have already been through what you are just starting to learn, about the world outside, your safety, home or school. Your parents love you so much, although you may not know or appreciate how much they love you. They might not agree with your choices and stop you from doing what you really want to do, it is only because they love and care for you so much and if you got hurt or even died, their heart would break in two and never repair.

If the people who influence you, shape who you are, then you must choose the right people to influence you.

People responsible and who have been through the same challenges or problems.

People who know you well and you know them well.

People who love you, care for you and respect you for who you are.

People who you can trust and that you know are honest with you.
