Which Way Will You Go?
all 2017 means it's time to bounce back! We have a new school year and opportunity to bounce back from any hurdles that might have entangled us during the last school year. Moreover, with receiving a new UB grant for the next five years worth over 1.28 million, the UB staff has another opportunity to continue to assist first generation/low income students in their pursuit of a college degree. Yet, with every opportunity comes a decision. Will you seize the moment? Revert back to negative patterns? Or, ignore the opportunity and miss the chance to make small or big changes that can impact your future and lifetime?
If poor study habits caused you to earn a C rather than a B, then what will you do this year? If eating too much pizza, brownies, and cakes over the summer caused you to gain 10 pounds, what are you going to change during the fall? If leaving home ten minutes before the start of school causes you to be late each day, what are you going to do differently? Positive changes begin with a decision and the decision belongs to you!
As I conclude, I would like to leave you with this quote: Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become deeds. Watch your deeds; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Even with new opportunities to make positive life changing decisions, the same negative thoughts and deeds can produce the same results and can become a part of who you are! Choose wisely!
