We are at the Finish Line!

  We are almost at the end of all of our courses. We have worked hard, but it is not quite over yet. We can see what are grades are looking like and we have an opportunity to turn it all around if it isn’t going the way we thought it would be by now. So now, the big question becomes, “Will you put more effort into your coursework to pass your classes, or Are you okay in all your classes?”

 Never Give Up Never Surrender!

  These are the common questions running in all of our minds when we are at the end of all of our studies. It can go in either direction at this time because we still have time to make the grades to pass our classes. It is a sink or swim notion that can either drive us to be successful or cause us mental anguish and defeat. The goal in the end though is to never give up and to try to do your best from start to finish. 

You Got This! 

  Now we may have times where we stumble, either due to personal or lifelong reasoning, but in the end, it is up to us to see this through. We took the time to be registered in these classes. We made the effort to show up and be present for the workload. Now it is up to us to make it happen, no matter what. Making it known to your professors what is going on with you is vital to your success in college.

  Your professors recognize that there will be times when their students have troubles that extend away from their coursework and they will guide you on the best approach to be successful with them. As long as you are trying, they will help you get through all of the obstacles you are facing in your studies and help you be successful. In some of my previous blog entries, I noted that we have to want it enough to make it happen. I also said that nobody will be doing this for you and that it really is up to now to achieve your goals now. This very much still applies and cannot be further from the truth even now today.

 

Remember to Follow Your Heart  

  Another thing to mention is that now we are so close to the end, what will you hope to gain now from what you have learned? Are you satisfied with yourself and what you have set forth to achieve at the beginning of this coursework workload? As I stated before, you have time to answer those questions and make your dreams come true. It all really now is up to you going forward to make this term and others alike, ones that you can remember and treasure for many years to come. My advice, going forward is to not only finish this term and others with due diligence and persistent effort but to remember what/why you are doing all of this for.

Fight for Your Future! 

  We all had dreams of going into this to gain something, so do not cheat yourself of that all because it got a little harder than you expected or didn’t go the way you always planned it to. Life is all about adversity and difficulty. It is what we do with all of that that makes us or breaks us. Do not allow yourself to be broken and remember the beauty that comes from transformation. It is not easy, but the end result far outranks the initial setbacks we feel we are facing. Life is all about finding a way to make it happen. So it is time now for you to find that way.  

 

Good Luck Everyone!
