Seven Habits.....

Stephen R. Covey - Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (( Part 1 ))

A person I admire

The healthiest influence in my life

Doña Juanita a lady of few words and many actions, a devoted teacher, soft- spoken, but direct, strict but never tyrannical, always ethical but no inquisitor.  I can´t remember a long speech from her, we had an agreement, “teach me to be successful in school I will do my very best”, she did a little more than that.

She was in charge of accepting students at the Vocational School Monseñor Sanabria, She was very sincere and told me that I had some troubles with the discipline of learning, but not with behavior, that I seemed honest to her, “you will need hard work in order to succeed, but if you really want it, I will help”.

She was honest, direct and fearless deep down, no student wanted to be called into her office, but at the same time, there was a real commitment to molding students into discipline adult learning.

She told me one day “I Spoke to the receptionist Lisbeth; for you be her assistant after class. Every day for half an hour, I attended Lisbeth on her work, “she was in my back”, correcting my posture, grammar, writing and editing.  She pressed me, there were many habits I had to change in order to learn. But at the same time, was the greatest support when I was discouraged. 

When I asked Dona Juanita a doubt, she used to send me to read and write an essay in my own words. If I still had some doubts, which was often the case, she would clear them for me. Suddenly, my problems with courses were left behind and my reading passion took over. At that moment, I was not able to understand what she was doing, latter I learned the meaning of the word, is called “tough love”, and has help me to avoid many troubles.
