I have put in effort in my goal by actually doing it, even though I sometimes don't want to and because I really try and work on it as good as possible. Advice you could take by Willow is that you shouldn't give up on what you challenge yourself to do.

At this part where almost all of them changed it made me feel there becoming a new person and just forgetting there old self and moving on. Like Dell Duke has changed his meat eating habits and Willow starts to challenge herself like jogging for her whole life that could be hard at sometimes but she challenges her self to do it and feeling made her feel more happy. That tells that Willow is starting is starting to forget about what happened in the past and starts becoming different a little.

I put in the effort in my goal by actually asking my math teacher to take my text book home to study a bit and do some questions because I really want a good grade. An advice from Willow is never give up.

So far I have been putting effort in my goals. So far I'm proud of myself of how many days I actually did my goals. I thought I would be lazy and not do them, but something inside of me really wants to do this, as my reward will be spectacular. As somehow I am reminded of what Willow did and as she strides to victory, I shall to. One part that really impacted me in counting by 7's was that Dell got accepted as one of the Pati Family, including Willow. At first I didn't really like Dell, he was one of those characters who seemed boring and unneeded. But they gave him personality. They gave him life as Willow wouldn't be the same without him. I also really like how they gave him personality. Like he became a awesome character before I even noticed I liked him. He might be my favorite character in the story. As seeing his reactions is humous and entertaining.

To start off my response today, I'm going to answer the first question where it says: What kind of effort have you been investing into your goals this past week? Are you proud of your efforts? Even if you are discourage what advice can you take from Willow in the story Counting by 7's...

My goal is to get started on my homework right away.This week I have been investing my time by every night I keep track of my goal and I try not to get distracted and stay focused at the table instead of going and hanging out with my friends. I am proud of my goal because I think I am doing a lot better than I was before. The advice I can take from Willow is that you should never give up no matter how hard it your goal seems to accomplish.

I am proud of my effort this week and I have been working hard on my goal. I thought I wouldn't put in much effort but I surprised myself with my results this week. Some advice I can take from Willow is to try new things and try not to be stuck in the past, just move on. She was trying to be part of a group and try to run with Dell and Mai even though she couldn't run the whole way but she didn't give up.

I have been putting lots of effort into my goal and I am proud of it. All my hard work for it is starting to pay off. Some advice i can take from Willow is even though your tired and you don't want to do it you should still try to succeed in your goal like willow did when she couldn't run anymore and even though she couldn't run the whole thing she still tried her best.

the effort I have being putting in my goals are practicing really hard and working at my goal, yes I am very proud of my effort that I have being putting in my goal. There is nothing that I feel discourage about in Counting by 7s but I think like if your not strong in your goal before then put like the effort in your goal and will achieve your goal I think its hard to word.

One part that made an impact on me was when Dell Duke said he finally belonged to something. That made an impact on me because I feel that everyone wants to belong to something or someone. This made me think because when he said that he finally belonged to something it makes you think that he probably doesn't have much family or friends so ths is the first time he has felt like this. This made me feel sad for Dell Duke because everyone should feel like they belong to something for their whole life. The characters helped me learn that you should always keep working to reach your goals.

One part of counting by 7s that made a impact on me was when Dell Duke finally felt like he belonged to something. That made an impact on me because I think that everyone should belong to something/someone. This made me think because he probably never had many friends or much family, and if he did, he probably didn't have much friend or family who made him feel like he belonged. This made me fell sad for Dell, because I think that you should know you belong somewhere for your whole life. I learned to never give up trying from Willow, when she never gave up running even when she felt like she was going to fall over. This impacts my life because she reminds me to never give up, keep on trying.

One part that made an impact on me was when Dell Duke said he finally belonged to something else. That made impact on me because it had a very powerful meaning.

I honestly haven't been investing any effort into one of my 2 goals, and little effort in the other. As I've put in little to no effort, I can't honestly say that I'm proud of the effort I've put in. Even though I haven't put in the effort, I can get that part of Willow's advice is that it's not the result, but the effort put forth, and that giving up on your goal is never a good idea.
