It's a natural time of year to pause and reflect upon life. As the semester winds down and you move into break, time some time to reflect on how things are going.
How did this semester feel to you?
What did you accomplish (or not)?
Did you take care of yourself?
Did you make new friends?
Did you discover new options for your future?
I know you're in the thick of things right now. Keep moving forward, one thing at a time; you can do this. As you move through this month, give yourself a little space to ponder.
If this has been a challenging semester, why might that be? What habits did you rely upon most? Did you follow through with the intentions you set in September?
Try not to judge yourself as you're reflecting. Be a curious observer. Ask yourself what is going well and what might not be working. What do you want more of, and what do you need less of?
Use the month of December as a quiet period of introspection that can lead to intentional growth in the New Year.
As always, we're here to bear witness to your journey. We want to hear your reflections from the semester and the year. The insights you share will inspire fellow TRIO/McNair students and help lift them as they travel their path. ✨
