I made a mistake.

I know, I know that is a surprise, right? I was out driving to a meeting and found myself in unfamiliar territory. I kept my speed up and continued in the direction I was heading hoping I would begin to see something familiar because I believed I was still going where I wanted to be. Then, I realized I had missed my turn. Once I realized my error I was faced with a decision. I could keep my speed up, maybe even go faster, and remain determined to make the best of where I found myself. Or, I could stop, turn around or change course to get back on track.

When I was younger, I would often choose the first of those options because I refused to admit my mistake. Now that I am older, I am more willing to laugh at myself and stop to turn around. Why am I telling you this?

The answer is simple. I hope you do not repeat the same mistake that I made. If you have found yourself on the wrong course at this point in the school year, you are faced with 2 options. Keep following this path with even more determination or change direction; choose something that will alter your outcome. This applies to academics, friends, even your own emotional well-being. You can choose to make a change if you begin to recognize that you are not headed where you want to be or if you do not like the surroundings you are in.

How do you do this?

It all starts with awareness and honesty. Be honest with yourself about how you are doing academically. Be honest about the influence your friends are having over you. Be aware about the impact of your choices and the destination that they will lead to. Then, if you recognize it is not who you want to be, what you want to do, or where you want to end up, make a change.

You do have the choice. But if you can’t see a way to alter your path and you would like some help, that is what I am here for. I can help you identify avenues for change. I can help you reroute…if you want it. All you have to do is say something.

Always Remember…You Matter To Me!
