I hope you had a great summer vacation! This summer, I hiked to the top of Mount Washington with a few of my cousins. Mount Washington is the tallest mountain in the northeast (6,288 feet high) and is located in New Hampshire. I was a little nervous about hiking because I never attempted anything like this before (and yes, I will admit it...I am very clumsy). It is a difficult hike and I had to train for many months before I went on my trip. The trail is covered in rocks and boulders which were sometimes wet and slippery. It was scary at times, but I never gave up on my goal and made it to the top.
I am sharing this story with you because you may also find your self in a difficult or "scary" situation this year. It might be a tough homework assignment, project, or math problem. Sometimes you need to push your self more then you think you can in order to grow. Did you know your mind works like a muscle? Neurons make more connections in the brain when you work hard on solving a problem. Effort actually makes your brain grow! WOAH!! I know, how cool is that? All you have to do is try and never give up.
You're not alone either - teachers are here to help you and support you by giving you the tools you need to solve problems.
I believe all of you have the ability to achieve your goals and solve any problem. All you have to do is put in the effort.
And if you need any help, you know where to find me.
Hint hint: The Library ;)
