The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey the book that Monroe High School will use for its new personal development class is available for public review at the Tehachapi Unified School District Office.

A course that aims to help high school students make positive life choices and take personal responsibility for their lives may be in the mix of course offerings at Monroe Continuation High School in the near future.

Approved last week by the Tehachapi Unified School District Board of Trustees, students will soon have an opportunity to improve their academic and social skills through a new personal development class.

Available to all Monroe students in grades 10-12, the course will be a one semester elective centered on helping teens to do better in school and life, while setting and achieving their long and short term goals.

Through projects, presentations, demonstrations, written and oral reports, students will learn to demonstrate and develop personal skills that promote success and growth in the work place, while learning the fundamentals of planning for college or employment, as well as perfecting successful study, critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Already offered at Vista West Continuation High School in Bakersfield, Monroe staff recognized a need to incorporate a similar program into its academic offerings.

Besides asking for course approval, Monroe staff also asked the board to approve the book -- "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey -- to be put on 30-day public review before returning to the board for its final approval for adoption and use in the new personal development curriculum.

Written by a Brigham Young University and Harvard Business School graduate, the book will be available for evaluation by parents and other interested parties at the district office, 300 South Robinson St.

AN Oldham boxing club is set to pack even more of a punch from its new base.

Oldham Boxing and Personal Development Centre has moved from its former home in Derker Street, and will step back into the ring at the newly refurbished Victoria House in the heart of Oldham.

The club will now be able to take advantage of a bigger and better equipped gym, complete with two boxing rings and top-of-the-range equipment.

Eric Noi, a former England Amateur Boxing Association champion who runs the centre, said: We were sorry to see the old place close as it holds lots of memories.

It was where Gallagher Boys Club started out more than 50 years ago and in that time thousands of people have come through the doors. Some have gone on to be champions while others have just learned new skills and used boxing to become better people.

Now we are looking forward. Victoria House is a new start for us all and is better suited to what we want to achieve delivering champions, and may be more importantly, people that Oldham can be proud of.

DEL MAR, Calif., March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --With the health of the economy continuing to be a daily talking point around the globe, The Think and Grow Summit 2013 is poised to present a very different way of looking at how and why some people are succeeding today.

Many top minds from the personal development industry and agents of positive change will meet in Del Mar from April 25 to April 27 to celebrate business, success and free markets.

"The event is not a look at 'get-rich-quick' schemes. Instead it is a detailed examination of the mindset and strategies that enable people and companies to succeed, regardless of market conditions, and move forward to share their ideas and serve others," said Tony Rubleski, event host and creator.

International bestselling author, Sharon Lechter, co-creator of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" book series said, "I am excited to be a part of this dynamic and timely event that is certain to help people get and stay ahead during this time of great economic change."

"Job creators and innovators who provide vital products, services, solutions and new breakthroughs, and giving back to others will also be celebrated for their positive contribution to the world," Rubleski said.

The speakers will bring ideas from both business and the personal development industries to reveal multiple ways to get ahead and stay ahead. The ideas are based on many principles they learned from Napoleon Hill's classic book, Think and Grow Rich. The conference hopes to spread the good news of success, prosperity and capitalism with others eager to prosper and see their dreams, ideas and innovations become reality. Countless business leaders and high-achievers continually credit the book, which has sold over 80 million copies, as a major influence on their life and business career.

"Many entrepreneurs and small business owners risk it all and often fail a time or two. However, they learn, make adjustments and persist onward to achieve success years later after most people called them crazy," said Rubleski.

Many never-before heard stories and timeless success strategies based on the work of Napoleon Hill's books and teachings will be shared at the event.

In addition, five leaders will receive achievement awards for their body of work to help others. They are:

"We are excited to be a part of the Inaugural Think and Grow Rich Summit 2013. The timing of the event and level of world-class business and personal development speakers presenting at the event will make for a unique and positive experience for everyone involved. We believe the conference is a terrific way to spread the word about how people can achieve success and happiness," said Don M. Green, Executive Director, The Napoleon Hill Foundation.
