A New Year

Welcome to 2024! We are grateful to our readers who continue to subscribe and support us into the new year. 2024 is a year of great plans and resolutions. But how do we keep our resolutions?  

Maintaining Resolutions

January is a return to our regular daily schedules outside of our resolutions. It can be overwhelming if new goals and ambitions are too much to take on or not specific. For example, your resolution is to run a marathon, but you aren't a runner. Create manageable steps; start with walking more and then jogging; mile by mile, make it to a marathon.

However, there are many apps, resources, and specialities that make it easier to get the hang of a second language. Apps like Busuu, Duolingo, and MemRise allow new users to generally pick up sentence structure, native writing, phrases, and more.  

Stronger Together: Finding Strength in Shared Journeys, featuring Growing Up Online

There’s something really special about talking to someone who has gone through the same things you have. They understand in a way that others might not, because they’ve lived it too. When people with similar life experiences support each other, it can make a big difference. It helps you feel less alone, gives you hope, and often brings helpful advice that comes from real experience. Whether it’s dealing with a disability, mental health, or big life changes, support from someone who “gets it” can truly change your life.  

Summer Bonds That Last Beyond the Season, featuring Waze To Adulthood

Summer is a great time to spend more time with friends and even make new ones. Without school, homework, and busy schedules, you have more freedom to hang out and do fun things together. You could go to the beach, have a picnic in the park, or just sit outside on a warm evening talking and laughing. The long days and warm weather make it easier to enjoy each other’s company and grow closer as friends.
