“Wake up each morning with the thought that something spectacular is going to happen. Today is the day you will conquer your dreams. You can either stay in bed dreaming or you can get out of bed and start chasing your dreams. If you don’t get up and chase them, you will never catch them. Start your morning off right. Don’t think of waking up in the morning as a chore. Think of it as an opportunity. Each day you are given the opportunity to start fresh. Each day you are given the opportunity to chase your dreams. Get out of bed and think positive thoughts as you prepare yourself for what life is about to throw at you. Today is a new day. You should make each day better than the previous. Each day is a learning experience. Don’t obsess over the bad things that happened yesterday because they cannot be changed. Instead, apply the lessons you learned to the actions you make today. Work hard and you will achieve greatness. Look at life as a roller coaster with your dreams at the end of it. The ride is going to contain various twists and turns. You are going to encounter ups and downs, but you can determine how you react to these. You can scream in fright or laugh in fun. No matter what, you will overcome these bumps along the way and you will reach your dreams.” –Sara Kinsey (JTHS ’12)
