FREE ADVICE: Start to make a plan now. Don’t wait.
Make a
plan. Follow your plan.
If you don’t have a plan yet, do some
deep thinking about it.
Choosing a career.
What is it you want to do?
What do you want to spend every working day doing?
Do you want to work outside or inside?
Do you want to be dealing with people or not?
Do you want to be sitting down or standing up?
Creative or rote (same thing all the time)?
You have to know yourself.
No matter what you decide, have confidence.
Sometimes people have a lot of self-doubt.
Fake it ‘til you make it!
You can do it! Believe in yourself.
When you look in the mirror, say something encouraging to
yourself.
Positive self-talk is very important.

*** Email protocols***
protocol – customs, rules, regulations, politeness
Please always put your name and class in the subject line
of your email. Then I will know who you are.
If you are not sure what to do, ask a young person. I can help,
too.
If you send an attachment, please give it a name with with your
name and class.
If you interested in trying this, feel free. I will write back to
you. You may have already done this with my welcoming email last week.
If you don’t know how to do this, you should learn. It’s not that
hard, and it is super useful to be able to do this.
*** Book Deposit ***
For this class, I will be giving out a couple or three books.
Book deposit $100 ($80 refundable)
At the end of the course, you return the books; then you get $80
back.
The total cost is actually $20.
I don’t want this to be an econmic barrier to anybody. If you’re
broke, come and talk to me privately, and we can figure something out.
broke- no money
Go to this website: vsb.schoolcashonline.com
NOTE: Use the name and email address that you used to register for
your SHEC courses.
I’d like to give out some books Thursday. Try to do the book
deposit tonight. If there are any problems, we can solve them tomorrow.
I emailed you the document explaining the process. Let me know if
you don’t receive it.
