Do you know someone who is particularly successful at leading a healthy lifestyle? Does this person exercise daily so that he or she can focus more in his or her courses? Does this person eat right or sleep at least eight hours every night? How does he or she cope with stress? Is this person able to put circumstances into perspective so that he or she does not let stress get him or her upset? What does this person do to limit his or her exposure to alcohol and drug use in college? How would you describe this student's healthy habits? Would others benefit from his or her experiences?

If so, nominate this person to be the focus of the Speaking of Success feature in chapter fourteen of the next edition of P.O.W.E.R. Learning. In a brief essay, written in the space below, explain why you feel this person would be a good choice as a role model for handling stress with his or her healthy lifestyle. Be sure to use specific examples of his or her success. Broad generalities won't suffice. At the end of the semester, all students using the text and this Web site will be allowed to vote for their choice, although you will not be able to vote for your nomination. The student receiving the most votes may be featured in the next edition of the text, if he or she so chooses. You can view the current entries here.

After submitting your entry, you will be forwarded to a page which contains all of the entries. You may wish to bookmark that page so you can return to it and vote at the end of the semester.

Please provide the following information as a way of contacting you and/or your nominee if he/she is selected. The information will be kept confidential and will not be posted on this site.

And thanks for contributing to the next edition!
