College and Career Message for September 2020

Happy College & Career Awareness Day!

At the end of each month, we'll be sending some information on how you can plan for your future college and career goals!

This month's theme is: What do you want to be when you grow up?

Some of us may have heard this once or twice before. It is a simple question, and an all important one at the same time. The importance of it is not so much the specific answer as it is the process used to formulate responses to this question.

Think about it. In order to answer that question, one would have to look to the future at possibilities. For some of us, looking into the future poses challenges. We can be caught in the moment so intensely that we focus more on the “today” more than the “tomorrow”. When that happens, remember that it’s okay if you haven’t figured it out yet.

While the vast majority of high school students want to go to college, most feel unprepared to do so (youthtruthsurvey.org/college-and-career-readiness/) . College (4-year institution, 2-year community college) is certainly a future option, but it is not the only option. 

There are a plethora of opportunities for future success through the military, career technical training programs, and other career opportunities as well. For example, did you know you can become an electrician through an apprenticeship program in San Diego (www.abcsd.org/apprenticeship)?

Whether you are in 9th grade or a senior, now is the time to begin looking into your future. Once you are focused on doing your best in the present to prepare for the future, you can begin goal-setting. Your friendly neighborhood counselors are here to support you on your journey. Reach out to them as soon as you are ready to walk down that “tomorrow” path.

Look out for more information on College and Career Awareness!

Below are a few resources to help you begin your future-planning journey.

Wellness Wednesday: Find Wisdom

Happy Wellness Wednesday Red Devils!

They say our thoughts create our own reality, that our mind is more powerful than we could ever imagine. If this is the case, negative thoughts and complaining won’t get us far in life. Complaining about the actions of others, and the misfortune in our own life is futile. Why not do something more productive with your time instead of complaining?

Self-Care Tip:
Avoid complaining, instead find something to be grateful for. Gratitude increases happiness and reduces depression.

Kindness Challenge:
Send a text or an email to someone letting them know why you are grateful for them.

Virtual Wellness Room
Please visit our Virtual Wellness Room to take a break from your online classes. Do some breathing exercises, stretch, or play a game. It's OK to take a time out in the middle of the day for a "brain break".
