Motivation... do you need some? I know I do sometimes.

You can, and must inspire yourself - - - and acquire some MOTIVATION to go for your dreams.

Motivation can make the difference between getting a good grade and just passing.

It can help you climb the mountain you never thought you could.

It can mean the difference between getting that project done and wishing you had.

It can move you to go for the kind of life you know you deserve.

So how can you get that inspiration and motivation?

It comes from deep inside you. You have to really want something, to get motivated to do it. You have to see what working hard can get for you.

My thought I want you to realize today is that you can do it. You must dream big. You need to believe in yourself, and envision a brighter future for yourself and those around you.

That's what is right about going for your dreams, nontraditional students.

Have a wonderful week.

Nontraditionally yours,

About the dreaded Incompletes. Have you ever had one?

It can happen.











You think you might have everything done. But things just got away from you. You haven't finished everything you need to do to finish your class.

Maybe you have been ill. Or maybe you are taking care of a sick relative. Or there could be another reason.

But things just aren't done. What to do? You can go and talk to your teacher or professor and request an I - for Incomplete.

Ask them about this if you have to. Of course, none of use want to think about getting an incomplete, because we all want to be finished - period.

And every school is different. does yours allow Incompletes? How long do you get to complete the work? Have you had an incomplete? How did it go?

Leave a comment and let me know.

It can make a big difference in your grade if your teacher or school lets you do this.

Are your projects done? Your grades already in? Here is hoping you don't have to do an Incomplete with lots of work. But there are worse things!

Good luck on the end of the year, everyone.
