A School Year's Resolution

It's September 1st, we are nearly through our first full 5-day week, and the routine of the new school year is starting to be established. As you prepare for the new school year it is important to focus on your own strengths to build on them and also to identify the areas that tend to make it more difficult for you to be successful and try to minimize them. Making a new "school year" resolution can be a great idea if you are truly making a commitment to some tangible goal to help yourself build on your strength and minimize your roadblocks to success. For example, if you are a student who tends to get all of your homework done, but it is often done at the last minute and rushed because you struggle to keep track of big projects, then perhaps focusing on staying organized and breaking large assignments into smaller chunks would be a good goal for the school year. Be patient with yourself as you try to develop the new skills for success. If you need help brainstorming ideas that will help you to be more successful academically this year, please stop by and let's talk about it.
