Activities for week eight 10/21 - 10/25 - 2013

Having the right expectations going into anything is half the battle. John C. Norcross, a clinical psychologist, has studied people and their goals, and he has found a characteristic that distinguishes those who reach their goals from those who do not:EXPECTATIONS. I hope you expect to pass this class and excel; if you are not meeting your expectations right now you need to see Ms Davilla to find out what you can do to raise your grade. Do you have all your S.S.R. points?
