Megan’s Library of Love Book Drive began in 2006, in memory of a student who passed away. The idea to send books to a school in was created by Megan’s classmates at Cedar Groove-Belgium Middle School as a tribute to her.

The project formed out of the desire to honour memories of Megan, to help our community heal, and to make a in the life of others. Students have many of Megan, but the most vivid was her love for her family and the diligent help she gave to her classmates. They combined this with her for learning and reading to create the Library of Love.

This project honours Megan’s special qualities. In the of one of her classmates, “Megan was a good daughter, a good student and a good friend. We are all blessed to have been a of Megan’s life.

Every February, on Megan’s birthday, fifth grades at Cedar Groove-Belgium Middle School donations of newly-purchased books and send them to a school in need. The “love books” are truly a of love meant to reading and learning. Students earn the money for postage by writing letters to local . The fifth grades also have the of labeling every book with a Library of Love sticker, sorting books in categories, and all the books for shipping.

In the two years since the Library of Love began, students have collected over 5,000 newly-purchased books to send to schools in need. In 2006, 3,149 books were sent to St. Bernard’s Parish to help to their school library after Hurricane Katrina devastated the community.

C. How to develop positive habits

D. Improve your life

E. You can do it

F. Action plan

The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.

1._________________________________

Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.

2._________________________________

There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.

3.__________________________________

If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you keep this belief, you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”

It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc.. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc..

5._____________________________________

Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don’t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.
