Week of 4/19This week is Career Day! Hopefully everyone will enjoy their speakers and learning about some new careers. Some things to think about during career day:
1. What challenges did this person have to overcome to achieve their goals? 2. How did they overcome these challenges? 3. What is something new you learned about each career? 4. What support did the person have to achieve their goals? What support do you have to achieve your goals? 5. What next steps can you take to help pursue the career you're interested in? There are many ways you can take steps now to learn more about different careers and to pursue the careers you're interested in: -Talk to someone in the field you're interested in -Read books about topics you're interested in or about people in the career field -Find after school and summer opportunities to help you increase your knowledge and build skills to help pursue the career you're interested in -Watch videos about the career or people in the field you're interested in. A good website to explore is www.roadtripnation.com
Week of 4/12Sometimes it can be very challenging to be in the present moment. It can be hard to focus if we have racing thoughts or are feeling stressed. I also think this becomes hard to focus when the weather gets nicer and we near the end of the school. Whatever is making it hard for you to focus at the time, this exercise will help you refocus your attention on the present moment and help you be more successful. This exercise is great to use if you notice your emotions are starting to escalate too and you need to calm and refocus yourself too. This is a great activity because you can use it anytime or anywhere.
