Quarter one has finally ended and now it’s time for a fresh start. Students have the chance to redeem themselves if they didn’t do so good in quarter one and have the opportunity to learn and create better working habits to avoid missing assignments and low scores. But where is this motivation going to come from? What is there to inspire students? Well, breaks of course! Quarter one is one of the only quarters that have little to no breaks; hence, why the school days feel so gruesome and long. However, now that the quarter has concluded, the expectation of breaks will begin to become our reality.

Unfortunately, there are also negative events we must keep in mind. Our freedom is important, but our future success guarantees long-term freedom and contentment. The month of April will be stressful for most, especially Juniors. Throughout April, and a could days in mid-January, test-taking will be students worst enemy. But it’s important to know these dates so students can begin studying and preparing early.
