2 Thessalonians 3:10-13

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

Prologue

The potential and opportunities before you are limitless, so embrace this transition with excitement and a mindset geared towards growth.

As you step into this crucial year, I want to challenge you to keep focusing on your self-development. The time you have outside of school is a treasure trove of opportunities.

Also, I encourage you to continue with your daily routines of morning reflection and evening reflection. These moments of self-reflection will guide you in your personal growth journey, providing insights and direction for the path ahead.
