Anatoliah helps students take responsibility for their choices, behavior, and future.
"What am I paying attention to?"
Focus- the starting point of every decision that has ever been made!
Students participate in an engaging, focus-driven activity called “Find the Color.” The experience demonstrates how easily attention can be directed or distracted and reinforces the importance of deciding to focus on what truly matters in school and in life.
"What am I telling myself?"
Self-Talk—the inner conversations we have about what we're focused on.
During this part of the talk, students participate in an interactive activity called “The Game of Twos.” The activity reinforces how self-talk can move a decision in one of two directions: it can either empower students to make stronger choices or weaken their confidence.
"What is this making me feel?"
Emotions—the fuel that drives our inner conversations.
During this part of the talk, students participate in an interactive activity called “Who Is Controlling You?” The activity highlights the importance of recognizing and managing emotions before those emotions begin controlling their choices, reactions, and behavior.

Students will have the opportunity to ask questions, share thoughts, and connect real-life situations to the roadmap. Chelo will guide the conversation by tying student questions back to focus, self-talk, and emotions.
"I just wanted to say thank you again for our great presentation. I look forward to future endeavors!"
