otebooks, pencils and book bags
ready; its back to school time! Even
if those are not the items on your
required list of supplies, make certain you do
have what you need to graduate and matriculate to the next level! We’re never too old
to learn, whether 15 or 50, every person we

maybe some of the blame is theirs, but you
can’t change them, so focus on what you can
change-YOU! You are in charge of you, and
you’re the only one who is in control of how
you feel, act and react, so change you for the

our mistakes, stop doing the same thing over
and over again! Take responsibility for your
life, and you will see things begin to change.
“When you know better, do better”! The popular saying reminds us that life brings us lessons so we can learn to live a better life! Just
like in school, each test, every life experience
provides the answers to successfully pass the
