Author's Note: The beginning of a school year can be a stressful time, but remember, you can make successes from what you wish each and every day in school! See if you can remember, as you read this piece, the good times you had in school.
As you venture on towards the career of your choice (yes, I understand this is a pretty "heavy" topic of discussion at this time in your life, but your future really is nearer than you think), one very important question needs to be considered: are you working towards your goal? Each and every day, we need to remember that whatever you are doing at any given time or place should, at some point, lead towards your ultimate goal. If you want to be the best soloist in the choir, the first chair in violin, the starting point guard, or the number one goal keeper, what are you doing to reach for that goal? As you move on to high school, career choices come into play: what college we will attend or what career choice will we make? The goals themselves may change, but the need to have goals in mind does not! Hold this thought as we travel down the road of middle school language arts at Asa Clark Middle School. Let the journey begin!
Happy Faces
The views in Oak Creek Canyon, AZ are a sight to see, even with the 45 degree water at Slide Rock State Park. Here, sons Eric and Dan enjoy a restful moment after several "slides" down the river.
I agree; it is with every choice we make that we slowly form the person we are to become. The future is not something to plan for, but something to live, now. I wish I would have had a teacher like you when I was a middle school student!
