Do Hard Things
Hey girlz,
So, are you enjoying the study? Or do you just find it boring? Just wondering, because I don't want people to find my posts boring, lolz! :)
Now, if you don't have the book -- it really doesn't matter. Except for one of these questions, you don't need the book. So just skip question 4 if you don't have it :)
Oh, and before I start -- thanks Chelsea for reminding me to post about this! :P
Remember, I'm getting the questions and, well, everything below this writing in bold -- from the Official Do Hard Things Study Guide :)
In this chapter, Alex and Brett tell the story of their journey from being bored teens to being Supreme Court interns, campaign workers, and blog hosts. But before they had new experiences they had new ideas—big ideas like:
• Our generation is getting robbed!
• There has to be more to the teen years than goofing off.
• Ordinary teens can make a big difference in the world.
• Young people can handle big responsibilities.
• With big dreams come big challenges.
• What teens working together can accomplish is amazing!
They close the chapter by inviting readers to join them in an uprising “against a cultural mind-set that twists the purpose and potential of the teen years and threatens to cripple our generation.”
CHAPTER TWO: THE BIRTH OF A BIG IDEA
1.Looking back, do you see a season, a book, or an event that changed what you believe or how you live? If so, talk about it. How are you different now?
2.One teen told Alex and Brett, “Everyone I know at school is shackled by low expectations.” Could you say the same thing? If so, talk about why.
3.Have you ever found yourself responsible for a task that seemed too big for you to succeed at? If so, what happened? Did that experience turn out to be a bad thing or a good thing in your life?
4.Did you identify with the story of shy Heidi Bentley (pages 19-22)? If so, talk about it.
5.History shows that youth movements against God-established authority have generally not amounted to much. How do the authors set their message apart from such movements?
Girlz, either comment your answers -- or write them down somewhere. If you could, comment to tell me that you are answering the questions, just so I know! :)
Luv,Emii
