During this
2012-2013 school year one of the things I want to
encourage students to do is to "FOCUS THEIR MINDS".
Whatever the mind is consumed by controls the mind. Therefore focus
your energies on being successful with the understanding
that "SUCCESS IS INTENTIONAL". That means if you intend
on being successful your actions (intent) will demonstrate
it. Too many of our students have the
"I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE" and as a result find
themselves behind in classes and behind in credits. It
is highly important that students who are behind in classes take
advantage of afterschool credit retrieval classes. Get
themselves back on track and look to be successful. If the
high school environment isn't for them they should look
into the possibilty of doing 'Running Start'.
That means earn 10 credits and take the ASSET or COMP
test for Junior College or Vocational College. So many
of our young people have to work nowadays, but they ought to still
be encouraged to be involved in music, arts, and sports whenever
possible. It helps them in more ways than you
know. |
