Quest is designed to help you think through some of the most important

decisions in your life. Specifically, it is designed to help you resist the many

pressures pushing you toward sexual activity by making wise choices.

Quest is about learning to resist the power of the present, and choosing

instead to pursue your future freedom. If this is your desire, Quest can help

to strengthen your resolve to set your course.

Quest can help you think about

where you want to go with your life and help you to make a plan to get there.

The Adventurous JourneyA quest is an adventurous journey. Whether or not you want to go on a journey...you’re already on one – it’s a journey called life. Where are you going? Where do you want to go?

1. Many people end up in the middle of their lives asking themselves, “How did I end up here? This isn’t where I wanted to be.” Why do you suppose some people end up in a place that they don’t want to be?

2. Some people’s lives seem to work out really well. They have time, money, freedom, and a nice place to live. Do

you ever wonder how they got that way? Do you ever wonder what your life will be like? Are there things you

can do now that will help you reach your future goals and dreams?

Yes No Not sure

You have two choices along life’s journey:

1. Decide where you want to go and work toward making it happen.2. Go wherever life happens to take you.

3. When is a good time to write out your future goals and dreams?

The Dreamer A True Story, Shenette Howard

I grew up in a single parent home in Jacksonville, Florida. As a teenager I had this crazy idea that I would love to be a

cheerleader for the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL football team – crazy I know! My father was in prison and my mother worked two jobs

to care for me until I was blessed with a stepfather who was a caring, responsible dad. Statistically, however, I was likely to be

a teenage single mom.

Yes No Not sure

2. What does she mean when she says, “Statistically I was likely to be a teenage single mom?”

In high school ...I found out that I was a really good dancer so I began to pursue my dream of dancing and was fortunate to train in ballet, modern jazz and tap. Although some of the other dancers had years of dance discipline, I didn’t give up on my dream and kept on pressing forward. Through it all I learned to discipline and respect myself, which helped me in other areas of my life.

My parents never really encouraged me toward college, and I never knew if I would be able to get a college education. In my senior year of high school, I was featured in a tap piece at the local community college. Afterwards, I was approached by the college dance instructor who asked me to consider joining the school’s dance company. Believe it or not, I was given a full dance scholarship to get a college education! It was amazing.

After graduating from Florida Community College, I continued my education at the University of Central Florida and became the first person in my entire family to graduate from a University. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a minor in Marketing. My parents were so proud!

The Good Life1. Think about what matters most to you?

In the spaces below, describe each of the different parts of your life that you want to see in your future.

2. Now put a number in the small square of each

box indicating its importance. (1 is the most important and 8 is the least.) Discuss your choice for your most important goal.

Having dreams is great, but you won’t accomplish your goals just by thinking about them. To get there, you’ll have to take action in a direction that is consistent with where you want to go.

1. Which of the following best describes your view:

My choices now WON’T have much impact on my future.

My choices now WILL have some impact on my future.

My choices now WILL have a great impact on my future.

2. Consider each of the following examples and how they could affect your future.

Sit around watching TV, hanging out on the internet, or playing video games.

Do your homework and clean up around the house before playing video games or watching TV.

3. Use ONE WORD to describe each option:

4. How could these daily choices affect your future?

______________________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Shenette set goals for herself and worked toward accomplishing those goals. The choices you are making today are taking you someplace. Your regular, daily choices are laying down bricks and creating the path on which your life will proceed. Where is your path taking you? Is it where you want to go?

Pressing On Toward My Goals! A True Story- Shenette Howard

When I came back home to Jacksonville, I was so proud to say that against the odds I was a college graduate. I learned that discipline, effort and self-control are the keys to moving forward in your life. Throughout high school and college, the defining factor in my life was that I was committed to making positive choices. I made a conscious decision to stay away from drinking, drugs, smoking and sex, and as a result, I had a lot of self-respect. I was deter-mined to make something with my life, and I didn’t want to let anything stand in my way.

After college, I entered a Pageant contest and became Miss Florida International 2006. I was interviewed on TV shows throughout Florida and co-hosted a reality show called Real Girls Real Life which aired on national television for a year. I was interviewed by Meredith Vieira on the Today’s Show, about how avoiding sex, drugs,

and drinking played an important role in achieving my goals so far.

In 2008, I was accepted into the University of North Florida to study for my Master’s degree. I have learned that life is a journey. No matter what obstacles,

personal doubts, or opposition that I faced, I always pressed forward and achieved the goal that I set for myself.

I am happy to say that after years of hard work, study, and diligence, I’m now a cheerleader for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I found that what I once thought was a “crazy” idea wasn’t so crazy after all. I’m still pursuing many more goals for my future. If you have any doubts about your future, let me encourage

you to press on and work hard. I know that if you make a plan, stick to it, and work diligently, you can accomplish anything that you set your heart on.

— Shenette —

If you set your mind to it and work diligently,

YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH

ANYTHING that you set your heart on.

Remember – Your life is going somewhere

whether you plan it out or not. The purpose of

having a plan is to guide your life in such a way

that it takes you where you want to go rather

than a place that you don’t want to go. Many

people end up in a very different place than

they wanted, only because they never made a

plan for where they wanted to go.
