HABITUDES (CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT) On January 21st, BGGA students had a great time at the spring semester kick off event at Hickory Point. As part of a yearlong character program, BGGA leaders deliver the Habitudes curriculum to train the next generation of leaders, both on and off the course. Habitudes is an interactive program that instills valuable life lessons through visual imagery, story telling and fun activities. This first core lesson of the spring focused on priorities and clarity to help students have a clearer vision on what they want to achieve this year. Student goals and aspirations are always the start point at BGGA, so this Habitudes event was an excellent opportunity to inspire students to reflect on their progress and assess their goals - outcome and focus goals - and decide where they will focus their attention this semester to maximize their opportunity at the Academy. The purpose of these events is to stimulate thought, self- awareness and learning, which are some of the tenets of BGGA. All had a great time and we are so grateful to our students for their energy, passion and contribution! 10 THE GATE | FEBRUARY 2019
