Tuesday’s circle I asked everybody to write motivational letters to themselves about how to finish this year strong. Here are the best lines:

“Remember that Uncle Spanky promised $20 for each A plus mom will kill me if we quack up for our last quarter.” –TC
“By the end of the year, I’m going to have my first episode finished.” –IJ
“Stay focused.” –KM
“Remember that you have someone looking up to you so if you mess up they will think it’s okay for them to mess up.” –MT
“You gonna finish up the year strong because you want your grades to go up.” –AH
“I expect my project to come to life and end up being a big program, even afterschool”
“I want to show people that if I can speak up they can speak up also.” –DD
“Think of the final product you will have at the end of the year.” BC
“If you don’t finish this project you are going to fail in life.” MH
“You will complete this project because you will make this world a better place.” HG
“By the time you read this, I will be dead. But keep your head up and keep pushing through the work” VG
