This book I would usually use at the end of the year when my Yr 6's as they are leaving primary school and looking forward to embarking on their journey at high school in the following year.
Room 5 are ready for this book and its messages now. What I like the most about this book it has so many key messages for children and adults who are embarking on change. Dr. Seuss warns us of some perils we can come up against in life.
Dr. Seuss says go for it all, but know that you will encounter adversity; you will fall into slumps (he uses that word specifically); and worst of all, you will meet people who are content with just letting life pass them by.
Looking at the combined message of all of these is emphasised by saying...
Being a champion is a choice! It’s a decision!
But know that tough times will come. Know that personal and professional slumps will come. Know that not everyone is as passionate about life as you are.
Don’t let any of that stop you! Set out to succeed – yes, even starting today!
It’s not about the WHERE you are in life, it’s about the WHO – the relationships and experiences along the way. And it’s about WHO you become.
Envision the life you want. Accept the adversity but don’t let it stop you. Live the greatness you are destined for!
Oh the places you’ll go!!!
