"You can steer yourself in any direction you choose." – Dr. Seuss Summer is here and it is time to relax and have fun! Yes, it is the time to rejuvenate and focus on the moment. Take Time To ReflectAs much fun as this sounds, summer can be the time to start reflecting on your career. Let us face it, you do not enjoy every activity your parents, siblings, cousins or even friends partake in. You have your interests, skills and talents and it is to time figure out your unique and personal values. Short Moments of ReflectionSummer provides the ideal months to start reflecting on what motivates you to get off the lounge chair.
More Questions To PonderSummer enriches your life with extra daylight hours to suntan, build sandcastles or bike.
Explore And ExperienceSummer can also be the best time to get a part time job or to volunteer. Working at a fast food restaurant or in retail will not only bring you extra spending money but will also give you the opportunity to explore your likes and dislikes. Volunteering for non-profit organizations will not only make you feel good about yourself, but will also allow you hands-on experiences to figure out your talents. Yes, (sorry) I am hoping you will get off the lounge chair for a bit. Get Acquainted With YouSummer needs to be the season you start steering yourself in the direction you choose. Before you know it, fall will be here. The courses you select, the activities you enjoy and the clubs you join will help you build on the likes, talents and skills you have determined for yourself. You may find you have a lot in common with your sister, your mother, or your friend’s father. Now is the time to reach out and learn about their work. Think about it: Who do you need to talk to today? And why?
Summer is here! What are you doing to become acquainted with you?
