So it’s April.  The end of the school year is close enough that you feel glad that it’s gonna be over soon.  But it’s far enough away that you might be feeling really discouraged right now.  

So hang in there.  

A lot of you are stressed because of school, friends, family, etc.  But don’t be too discouraged because it’ll all be over soon.  

Finish well.  Give up now and you’ll regret it.  Now is the time it really matters.  Every book you open, every report you do, every friendship you heal and everytime you obey your parents… it will become harder and harder.  

But come June, it will all have been WORTH it.  Don’t live this summer with regrets.  

Stay the course. Finish the race.  Finish WELL.
