It’s SPRING!!  As you complete your final tests, projects, and exams, we encourage you to take time to celebrate. Having a hard time identifying your accomplishments? Consider grabbing a pen and paper and allow yourself to reflect using these prompts:

• Look Back
  What new things did you discover about yourself this year? Any hidden talents or interests that surprised you?  In what ways have you grown?
• Celebrate Wins
  Think about those moments you’re proud of—maybe you nailed a tough project, made a new friend, or reached a personal goal.  Identify the steps you took to achieve these “wins” and make them a habit.
• Who is on Your Team
  Is there a teacher, mentor, or friend who had your back? Consider giving them a heartfelt thank you for their support. Building your community that encourages and wishes the best for you increases your well-being and sense of purpose.

Taking a moment to reflect helps us see how far we’ve come and sets the stage for what’s next.  Keep pushing forward!
