5. Overcoming Hardships: Motivating Articles:
This lesson resonates with all teenagers. It offers an inspiring look into the childhoods of 17 celebrities. If you work with or teach teens, this activity is perfect for you.
Students will be motivated to overcome their own challenges as they read these stories and share their thoughts with peers.
Celebrities include actor Jim Carrey—whose family once lived in a van; NFL player Shaquem Griffin—who had his hand amputated at age 4 but still became a pro football player; and singer Selena Gomez—who was raised by a teenage mother and navigated her rise to fame as a young artist. These celebrities each found unique and motivating ways to achieve success.
Created by a Master Teacher - This activity has been tested and loved by our 9th-grade students for years. It's always a favorite!
New, trending celebs – New celebrities and activities are added regularly.
Teachers can simply share the two links in this lesson, and students can complete the activity at home. Step-by-step student directions are included.
Recently added two new celebrities: Actor Henry Cavill (Superman, The Tudors, Mission Impossible) and Triple Grammy Award-Winning Singer Dua Lipa (who was once told by a teacher that she couldn’t sing!).
This resource is ideal for promoting social and emotional learning (SEL).
This resource is taken directly from our Full Semester/Year High School Health Curriculum, and our Middle/Junior High School Health Curriculum, which are both #1 Best-Selling Health Curriculums on TPT!

Modern, Authentic, and Beautiful Curriculum!
This curriculum is honestly such a breath of fresh air. I'm done struggling with health resources that feel dated, clunky, and just plain boring.
What I love most is how authentic it feels. It doesn't talk down to students; it meets them exactly where they are with modern, real-world scenarios that actually matter to them. The design is absolutely beautiful. It’s clean, professional, and visually engaging, which makes a huge difference when I'm trying to keep a classroom’s attention. It feels like a high-end, living system rather than just another dusty textbook and it turns health class into a journey that students actually want to go on.
About time.
Finally curriculum that makes sense! Thorough, thoughtful, intuitive, with a beautiful layout. Easy to work from, and for me, the section on addiction is well worth the purchase alone. Highly recommend.
Clear, Easy to Understand, and FUN
This is my first experience using a HET curriculum, and I'm genuinely impressed. The course is thoughtfully designed with clear organization and and easy-to-follow layout, making the content highly accessible.
Health can often be a challenging subject to both learn and teach, but this curriculum presents it in a way that is engaging and manageable for everyone involved. It creates an enjoyable experience for both instructors and students alike.
I'm looking forward to starting the upcoming semester feeling confident, supported, and equipped with such a polished and effective resource.
This was a great resource and easy to use! Thank you!
This health resource was exactly what I needed for my high school students. It was age-appropriate, relevant, and sparked meaningful conversations. My students actually enjoyed the lesson—which says a lot!
Great Resource
I've been in the classroom teaching Sports Medicine the past 7 years after teaching 6 years of PE prior. I did not want to reinvent the wheel and middle school PE was the only level of PE I had not previously taught. This bundle has been extremely helpful in providing lead up activities and practice, along with games I'd never seen that are developmentally appropriate for MS.
Very helpful resource
This was a very helpful resource for a topic that is not always the easiest to teach, especially to students with disabilities who struggle to understand interpersonal relationships.
Excellent Resource!
Working at a small school with an inexperienced PE teacher, this tool helped guide planning for the year!
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I recently had the opportunity to explore the "Empathy Lessons for High School" unit, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! This social-emotional learning health unit is incredibly well-crafted, providing students with essential tools to understand and develop empathy in today’s diverse world.
The lessons are engaging and relevant, encouraging students to reflect on their own experiences while also considering the perspectives of others. Activities such as role-playing and group discussions foster a safe environment for open dialogue, allowing students to connect on a deeper level.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I absolutely loved this resource! My students loved it and were engaged the whole time! I love the way it is set up, makes it very easy to follow and understand with little to no prep.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CURRICULUM!
User-Friendly & Professional
Thank you for taking the time to create a lesson that is very user-friendly and covers the heavy topic professionally.
