How DRIP Can Empower Your students
Why Dylan Connects with Students
Dylan understands the pressure young people face, having faced challenges and overcoming obstacles himself. As someone who has walked an unconventional path to success, Dylan’s story resonates with students who may be searching for their way forward. He knows the importance of staying focused on long-term goals and making the right decisions today.
Why Patti Connects with Students
Patti McGee's connection with students is rooted in her support for unconventional success. She relates to the students through a warmth and authenticity that instantly makes them feel seen, heard, and understood. Having guided her son, Dylan "Theory" McGee, through the pressures of veering off the traditional path of college and conventional work, Patti knows firsthand the courage it takes to chase a dream against the grain. This personal experience fuels her ability to connect with teens facing crossroads, whether resisting societal norms, finding their identity, or pushing past self-doubt. Patti’s unwavering support for unconventional success encourages students to trust their potential and carve their unique futures.
Key Lessons for Students:
● Discipline through Homework & Preparation: Success starts with the small stuff. Finishing your homework on time and showing up to school prepped—books ready, mind focused—builds the muscle of discipline. It’s like training for a big game: every practice counts and sets you up to win in class and beyond.
● Responsibility through Time Management: Own your day like a boss. Getting to class on time, meeting deadlines, and staying accountable aren’t just rules—they’re power moves. When you manage your time, you show the world you’re reliable, ready, and in control of your future.
● Integrity through Choices: Every decision you make—like resisting the urge to copy a friend’s answers or owning up when you mess up—shapes who you’ll become. Integrity isn’t just about being “good”; it’s about building a reputation you can stand behind, one choice at a time, that opens doors down the road.
● Purpose through Exploration: Your passions are your fuel—find them! Dive into school clubs, sports, or art, and connect with classmates who spark your curiosity.
Exploring helps you discover your “why”—what drives you to get up and make a mark.
● Teamwork & Networking for Success: No one wins alone. Collaborating on a group project or cheering a teammate teaches you how to lift each other—and that’s gold.
Networking—making friends, talking to teachers, or meeting mentors—builds a crew to help you climb higher. Success isn’t solo; it’s a team sport, and your network is your strength.
Inspire your students with a message of discipline, responsibility, integrity, and purpose. Help them see the bigger picture of how today’s efforts will build tomorrow’s success.
