Considering the challenges this year, give more, ask less from the student body.
This year we are facing the problem of students losing interest in activities and not wanting to participate. In our training with Scott Backovich he told us the best way to get the student body to participate is to give without asking. So far this school year we have started using this strategy, and it is working!
Make this year memorable even though we are not starting off the year at school.
It is up to you to make these four school years memorable. Some students may not want to do the online activities, but it is their choice. I want to make this year count, even though we are still doing online school. Getting involved as much as possible will make it more memorable.
Short Term Goals:
Work on procrastination and keep myself from lacking on online schooling.
This year especially is hard to keep myself on track, and hard to keep myself from being lazy. Keeping up on my grades and prioritizing time is hard because I find myself losing track in class, but my goal is to keep my grades up, and getting everything in on time.
Focus on self imagine, skin, weight and eating right.
I have always been self conscious about my body. Always been told I don’t eat enough, always been told I need to eat more, and always been told I'm too tiny. At an age where we start to look at self imagine I would like to focus on my body. I am blessed to be a “skinny girl” but get too into my head that I am too skinny for my age. I look a lot like my moms side, who were very skinny at a young age, that is just genetics. As a goal I would like to start to love my body for what it is. This year I have also experienced acne. Acne is the one thing that ruins my self confidence, something that will deteriorate my self esteem. For how many medications and skin care routines I have tried, I hope to have better skin by the end of this year.
Long Term Goals:
Get out and travel.
Life is short, getting out and traveling is a goal I have always had for myself. I would like to travel the world with any free time I have to experience things I may not experience sitting at home. The opportunities I have to travel at a young age are traveling to cities with friends at the last minute, asking my family to go on trips and going to college out of state. Going out of state for college is a once in a lifetime experience. I have always had the dream to just pack one bag and drive with my best friends with no destination. You only live once, why not explore places you have never been to before.
Work on being the best version of myself.
In a world full of hate and judgment, there are still a handful of good people. I would like to be the best version of myself I can possibly be because you may only have one chance with people. Being a good person can impact people that you don't even know. Be the reason why someone smiled today, and be the reason why there is still good in the world.
