4. Help each other win, and take pride in each other's accomplishments.
5. Speak positively about each other and about our school.
6. Maintain a positive mental attitude no matter what the circumstances.
7. Follow the agenda -- don't get off subject.
8. Do everything with enthusiasm -- it's contagious.
9. Believe in what you are doing -- always persist.
10. Have fun!
