1. The Personal Bank Account

2. Man in the Mirror Chorus: “I’m starting with the man in the mirror,
I’m asking him to change his ways,
And no message could have been any clearer,
If you wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change.”

3. Silent Reading
Read about change on page 33 in the book entitled The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey.
What are the song and the poem talking about?

4. What is a Personal Bank Account?
Like a savings or checking account
The good things you do are like deposits (+)
The bad things you do are like withdrawals (-)

5. Personal Bank Account Deposits (+)
Keep promises
Do small acts of kindness
Be gentle with yourself
Be honest
Renew yourself
Tap into your talents

6. Personal Bank Account Withdrawals (-)
Break personal promises
Keep to yourself
Beat yourself up
Be dishonest
Wear yourself out
Neglect your talents
