all right. how'd you do this week? just having that accountability leads to positive results. >> doctor metzger says. if you feel ready to give up, remember, it's not all or nothing. >> don't give up just yet. don't be discouraged. what i want them to do is actually reflect back. you kind of look at it through a different lens, or you realize, okay, you know what? i am making a positive change. even though it's not exactly what i thought, but it is a positive change. >> reena roy, abc news, new york. >> good tip there and next, just days away from the rose parade, we catch up with the students making their own float and the history behind it

extra special is it's the only float in the parade that's designed, built and driven by students and it's not just current students. cal poly graduates return year after year, even decade after decade to work on that float. >> it's generations and generations of people who are just pouring in to this program and that type of support and community tsay i think it's just one of the most special things i've ever had the chance of experiencing. >> and the float includes a yellow electric eel, also a purple stingray, and it has 10,000 days. they're donated from the central coast and 24,000 purple flowers very cool flow. and if you want to check it out, you can see it on monday. abc seven will be showing the rose parade live on new year's day, starting at 8:00 in the morning. that's a really neat float. and i know lisa, two of your kids went to cal poly, right? >> i love it down there. and
