New Beginnings

What happens when your computer breaks?
First and foremost, you attempt to repair it.

How does this relate to school?

Take a moment to imagine a broken student who is trapped in a never ending cycle -- a student who has entered into a downward spiral in which the student feels defeated after receiving a bad grade on an assignment, will lose motivation and put less effort into the next assignment. The outcome is no surprise -- the student earns another bad grade and the cycle continues.

How does one stop the cycle?
Repair and reboot.

As students venture into second semester, they should be inspired by the opportunity each new semester brings to start over – it is never too late to re-brand oneself as a good student who is motivated to succeed in school, especially when there are many private SAT tutors who can assist with all aspects of schooling. A new semester brings a new opportunity to repair what may have fallen apart during the previous semester. With effort, patience, and focus, a failing student can choose to start over again and make the necessary changes to succeed. By repairing one's attitude and looking at the factors that contributed to one’s fall in the previous semester, a student can make a plan and seek out the necessary support to turn over a new leaf in the New Year!

Who’s up for the challenge?
