Dear Chattanooga State Community,

I hope you had a restful Spring Break and that you are ready to return to class energized and inspired to finish the second half of the spring semester with even greater success than the first.

Often, it can be challenging to stay motivated to mid-semester. If you were happy with your progress in the first seven weeks, it might be daunting to keep the same level of focus you had through the second seven weeks. If you weren’t so happy with your progress in the first seven weeks, you might be feeling overwhelmed with the thought of second half of the semester.

I encourage you to go back to your why—the reason you are in college. Is it to prepare for a great career? Get the first half of a bachelor’s degree? Are you the first in your family to attend college? Are you a parent setting an example for your children? Begin this second seven weeks with the end in mind. Picture your life once you’ve achieved your goal. Let that be your daily driver when you wonder if the reward is worth the effort. It is worth the effort. YOU are worth the effort.

Remember, the second seven weeks is a new beginning. You can build upon your past success, or you can reinvent yourself. You can do this, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
