My first semester is over. Now it’s time to re-energize for next semester. Everyone knows that with the start of a new year, you have the opportunity to reflect on last year and make some adjustments. My resolution is to remain positive. With that frame of mind, allow me to share some words of encouragement.
I keep thinking back to this time last year when I was a senior. I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been there before. Now is the time to take yourself serious and finish strong. If you do exactly what you set out to accomplish, you will only thank yourself later. If there are any college applications or scholarship applications that you haven’t finished, complete them. Soon you will start to see results. Right now it is Financial Aid time, so make sure that you gather all documents and submit them. If you stumble across anything, do not hesitate to ask people around you. Only you can control what your future holds. Take ownership of that and feel empowered. There was no better feeing then showing my parents my first set of grades. I am sure you will know this feeing soon.
I can not wait for next semester to start. I will be starting off in an officer position for the Student Nutrition Association, a campus organization. I’m also looking forward to my classes and getting to see some of my friends. I’ll make sure to update you on how my second semester is going in the next post.
