I began this unit with poetic lines referring to the sense of wonder in adolescents’ lives. In finishing my lessons I hope, as Dr. Anyan said in the beginning of our seminar, “If we all contribute in some way at least a little bit, we could make changes in our students.” I hope I have contributed in enabling adolescents to obtain a higher level of self-control, practice better nutritional habits, increase their knowledge concerning sanitary home conditions, and develop an understanding of first-aid necessity. From expanding their knowledge of the above, the adolescents will be capable of assimilating and internalizing the following traditional Old English prayer
