The School Year Is Quickly Approaching Us

By Nia Kerr on August 7, 2016

Hello all,

It seemed like it was just May, now the month of July is practically done for. Time goes by a lot faster than we expect it to and unfortunately we are unable to control it.

Now that August is around the corner, we have to start getting back into the swing of things and getting mentally prepared for school once again. Buying school supplies, stocking up on your favorite snacks from home and buying new clothes for school. I understand that a lot of you may not be excited about the idea of going back, but if you concentrate on the positive, you will see that you are continuing along your path to more success.

If it is possible, you can find ways to make the thought of going back to school a lot less dreary as it can first appear. Look for school clubs that promote ideas that may interest you. If a club is not the route that you would like to take, get either an on-campus job or an off-campus job to occupy your time when you’re not studying for tests. Most of all remember that this is a new school year. Any of the negative stuff that unfortunately occurred last school year, is not allowed to be carried over as baggage into the new school year.

This is a brand new year for you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. It may be easier said than done, to just “move on” but you can do it, you deserve the happiness as well as the peace of mind. Do not be afraid to make new friends — you can learn a lot from what they may have to offer to you; but also be mindful of who you surround yourself with. Not everyone is meant to play an important role in your life, so please do not let the actions of others distract you from the journey that you have set for yourself.

All in all, I believe that you guys will do great as long as you remain aware of what is going on around you and do not doubt your abilities. Have faith in yourself and know that even if things do not always go the way that you expect them to, everything will work itself out!
