what students got from Greg Batters

I think these interviews were very interesting. They showed us people with ideas that are not normally so accessible and open to so many questions.

 

I thought it was cool that Mr. Batters told us how hockey and his job as a fire fighter related to one another. I was quite surprised how open the both of them were with us

 

He proved that you don't have to go through high school by studying, and stressing yourself out by doing piles and piles of homework.. What matters is how you deal with people around you. Interacting with people in your everyday lives is the best way to learn something new.

 

  • Some ideas that stood out for me during Greg Batters's presentation were:
    1. Try to level out your ups and downs (try to find the good when things go wrong, and be grateful when things go well).
    2. When you get back up after failing it is a success.
    3. Fear is good, when you are scared you are aware of what is going on around you.
    4. If you are prepared, you have a small margin for mistake.
    5. What you do in high school does not necessarily affect what you will end up doing.
  • 6. If you do nothing with your life it is hard to become something

 

The two things that stood out for me during Greg Batters presentation was:
1)Don't be afraid to fail .Because you can learn from your mistakes.
2)If you like what you do then you should stick to it and work at it.

 

The top ten ideas that stood out in the Greg Batters presentation were:
1. You shouldn't be afraid to fall down
2. People are made of their experiences
3. If you sit back and do nothing it's hard to change that into somebody who takes action
4. You don't know what you're going to be when you're 30ish when you're 15 or 16
5. Hobbies and interests can also be a career path
6. There is no great reward without a risk or two
7. Being optimistic about the qualities of others and being understanding that others make mistakes can give you a fuller and better life
8. Teamwork can help shape a person into the individual that they are going to be
9. Adrenaline and thirst for adventure can shape people into heroes/heroines
10. You don't have to be good at everything to be a great person
