Daily Journal Entry by a New CGS Student
Lunch is right before CGS, and since I looked at my schedule, I know I have a short break in between the third and fourth block.
My GATES teacher and advisor also told me to check my mailbox in CGS every day when arrive - I will do that to stay in practice and on schedule.
We may work on graded work, see a new calendar, or find notes from our teachers so it is imperative to check my communications throughout the day.
I know that all this is new and feels overwhelming, but I know I've got this. I am now ready and looking forward to a great day in CGS. Positivity is everything and I will tackle each challenge as it comes to me.
