 * - How will you earn your MYP grades for this assignment? **
 * - How can my choices change the lives of others positively and negatively? It works in a chain reaction. What I say or do can hurt others and they can take it seriously and hurt themselves or just hurt me back. However, if I say something or do something good then it could help the person I say it to/help. I can help a little kid on their homework and that will benefit them positively. **
 * - How can my choices change my life positively and negatively? I control my own life and my life is based on the things I say or do. If I choose to drink or smoke then it will affect me negatively but if I choose to study and do good in school then that will affect me positively. **
 * - Why is it important to make positive choices in your life? It will make me have a better future for myself. I won't hurt myself or the people around me. **
 * - Why is it important to our country that you make positive choices? It will make us a better and more stable country. If we make bad choices then in the future it will turn into a bad and dangerous country. If we don't do well in school then not a lot of people will have jobs in the future and the country won't make a lot of money. Therefor, it will soon be in a bad economy and have another great depression.  **

Explain both positive and negative consequences, and how your choices impact others.) __What I do or say impacts the people around me greatly. If I start a rumor about someone it could really hurt them and they could really hurt themselves for that. If I choose to do bad things that could affect my health like drink and drive or smoke stuff then it could kill me and I can only blame myself. If I drink and drive it could not only harm or kill me but it can also harm/kill the people driving because I can crash with them. My life and future is all based on the choices I make now. I can either have a good or bad future but it all depends on what I choose to say or do now.__ **
