YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO CREATE A DOCUMENT OR SLIDE TO SHARE YOUR MISSION STATEMENT~ BE CREATIVE IF YOU WISH - NO SCREEN SHOTS OF THE WEBSITE!

One of the best ways to incorporate Habit 2 into your life is to develop a Personal Mission Statement. It focuses on what you want to be and do. It is your plan for success. It reaffirms who you are, puts your goals in focus, and moves your ideas into the real world. Your mission statement makes you the leader of your own life. You create your own destiny and secure the future you envision.

Log in to (using your school email or personal) the Mission statement builder below and answer the questions to create your PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT... you can take a screen shot to turn in or if it emails you something you can save it and submit the results.

If you need to "get inspired" by others who have one... check out the attached photo to see where to go for help...

The Get Inspired section provides mission statement examples from some key figures of history—and a few anonymous samples, too. Read them for ideas as you craft your own mission statement.

Some will strike a chord. Others won't. But you'll see that these mission statement examples come in all shapes and sizes. They're crafted for a unique purpose and person.

Roll over each area to view each mission statement example.
