  1. I chose this video for the morning reflection because it is an inspiring example of what we, as people, should think when it comes to life. Just because something is hard doesn't mean that we should just give up on it. This video, "Dear Hard Work," shows the readers that sometimes hard work is all you need to get through the hardships in our lives.

  2. I thought the morning reflection this morning was very motivational. Hard work is something that is very hard to tackle and inhabit in yourself and your personality.I liked the video, it was inspirational for athletes specifically. There are other forms of hard work as well, mentally for school and creatively, as in the arts. The video's main message, which was very clear, was that when you work hard, you build trust in yourself that you deserve what you are wanting to achieve. It makes whatever dreams or aspirations you have seem that much more like a reality.

  3. The video made me realize that I should embrace hard work and not try to avoid it or run away from. It hard work is the only thing that can get me where I want to be in life. It motivated me to make sure I get all of my work done and keep pushing myself so I can accomplish everything that I want to accomplish.

  4. I thought the morning reflection was a pretty motivational video that had a good message. I believe that if you really want to succeed in life you have to work for it and do hard work to get to it, which was the message of the video. The video itself was pretty simple, and even the idea that it was expressing was simple too, but to act on that is very difficult indeed.

  5. Today's morning reflection was presented by Jahde. It was a very motivational video that showed the importance of hard work. The man in the video was very determined to make a fitness journey, and his hard work was a result of that. This video was inspirational and made me want to reach, and exceed, my goals. It was a simple video with a strong message behind it.

  6. Today's morning reflection was very inspiring, mostly to us teens. It really talked about how hard work can really pay off in the end. And everybody has to work hard to get things.

  7. Dream chasing. That's what I got from this video. Whatever one's dream is pursuing it requires hard work. You have to believe that there is a pay off, that hard work leads to results. If not immediate results, then certainly hard work creates a new mindset, a kind of work ethic that involves a sense of responsibility and dedication. That "ethic" and attitude is what brings respect and admiration from others and maybe that's the best pay off aside from your own self-respect.

  8. Jahde’s morning reflection today was really good. The guy was talking to hard work, probably something he would try to stray from. In the beginning he’s talking about why he doesn’t like it but throughout the whole thing you see him working out really hard and its motivational in the way that has you thinking, even if you don’t like something you should stick it out because it will pay off in the long run.

  9. The morning reflection was a very motivational video that basically said no matter how hard the task is or how hard it seems to complete it, quitting should never be an option and that inspired me sort of.

  10. This mornings reflection was very strong and relatable. It is never impossible to follow your dreams and goals, hard work is something people lack in this generation; people give up to easy. I feel if your confidence and motivation is at a all time high you shall accomplish your goal. Hard work is never easy but giving up is not a option.
