The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

Personal Experience The novel, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, can relate to me in multiple ways. One of my many shared experiences to the book is when the author states in the book that when he was a boy he played football, just like I do. He wasn’t the greatest at the sport for a few reasons; one being he was small and another was that he was slow. You see, I was never the one to be slow, but small, however, I was. I have been playing football for a good eight years now, and to myself I believe that I am fantastic at the sport, but when I first started, I was the complete opposite. My first year of football was and is always the easiest year to remember for me because it was the toughest. I was only a small boy playing with boys that looked upon me with the eyes of a shark, fresh meat, that’s all I was to them. I knew it also, and I knew I had to step it up and that’s exactly what I did. I practiced daily, I learned the sport from the best, and I also used techniques to make me bigger and stronger than I was. When the first year of football was over, I had other coaches scouting me out. I had become the star of the football team. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens novel stated that, “If you want to succeed whether it be sports or academics, all you need to do is want it bad enough.” That is exactly what I did and I am proud of it because, today I stand at six foot two and captain of the North freshman football team.

Piece of literature

I have decided to relate this novel to another novel very similar which is called “Ned’s declassified.” I used to read this book when I was just a young boy.

Every chapter would be different, another chapter would be about how to pass social studies and the other would be on how to not be late to class. Both of these pieces of literature are very alike, not only because they
