Summer is almost over. Students are encouraged to keep grinding during the summer months. Is it really necessary to keep studying? Is it necessary to keep working on your ACT score? Isn’t summer the season for relaxation? Of course, not. This is not the time for relaxation for rising juniors and seniors. This is the perfect time for students to put everything in BEAST MODE. Now is the time to go ALL in because students have fewer academic obligations in June and July. Students should be encouraged to research their top 5 college choices, take the ACT, update their resume, and read a few motivational books. Now is not the time to stay up all night playing Fortnite, watching senseless YouTube videos, and goofing off on Snapchat. It’s summer time; it’s GRIND TIME. The window of opportunity closes so quickly; don’t miss it. -Dr. Wycondia West
