03 Aug Road Map for August: Class of 2028

I hope your summer has been relaxing and fun—and if feels too short, you’re not alone! As the school year approaches, now is the perfect time to reflect and reset. Take stock of your summer goals: What have you accomplished so far? Is there anything still on your list that you want to fit in before school starts?

If you had summer assignments, make sure you’re on track to finish them, and begin shifting your sleep schedule so those early mornings won’t be quite as rough. You might also use this time to create or update your résumé—a great way to reflect on your first year of high school, and help you develop a few goals for the fall. Whether it’s raising your grades, trying a new activity, or stepping into a leadership role, having clear intentions—and sharing them with someone who can support you—can help you start the year strong.

Most importantly, enjoy these final days of break so you return to school refreshed and ready for what’s ahead!
