The Start of the New Year Brings a Fresh Start
(Provided by CalPac, Tuesday, January 03, 2017)
Will 2107 be a year of personal growth and goal setting? Or will you continue on the same, uninspired track as in years past?
“Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower
We understand that different circumstances, family dynamics, and the like can present obstacles and road blocks that seem difficult to overcome. Are you behind in credits? Do you wish you were receiving a better grade in a course this semester? Did you miss out on a certain elective course because you weren’t confident that you’d succeed?
Allow this new year to be one of positive change, renewed motivation, and a clean slate. We’ve only got a few more days of this semester – finish strong!
See It and Believe It:
Where do you want to be in 2 weeks? 2 months? 2 years? What goals do you have for yourself in 2017 and beyond? Try making a vision board! Go through old magazines, newspapers, or photos you have and look for encouraging words and inspirational pictures, like the logo of a college you’d like to attend or the job you’d like to have someday.
Cut them out and glue then to a piece of paper or poster board. Put your vision board somewhere you’ll see it often. It will be a constant reminder of where you want to go someday and how you “plan” to get there!
Ask for Help:
Many students are either too shy or too afraid to ask for help from their peers, teachers, or counselors. We have an exceptional team of teachers and school leaders who are here to help you succeed – take advantage of it!
Get Moving:
Did you know that getting moving may help improve your academic performance? The CDC states that regular physical activity can promote psychological well- being, help improve academic achievement and grades, and can influence your concentration and attentiveness in class?
It’s clear that physical health has an enormous effect on your mental and emotional well being. Eating well, getting adequate sleep at night, and engaging in physical activity will only help your performance in the classroom. So get moving and hey, you might even earn some credit for your PE classes!
From all of us at CalPac, we wish you Happy New Year!
