We are already in our second month of this semester and we must continue to keep our eyes on the prize. We must focus on our goals and not let anything get in the way of them, not even ourselves. In essence we are the only thing holding ourselves back from the goals we can potentially achieve. In one of Lupe Fiasco’s songs he states that “we can’t take back the words we never said” meaning if you never take action in a certain situation you won’t have that same exact chance to act again. If life is just a series of moments it only makes sense to take advantage of every moment and act upon them.

Start by taking advantage of all the activities and events around campus. I want to encourage everyone to get involved at Moraine Valley and not be afraid to stand out. There are many clubs and organizations around campus for us to join and take advantage of, and you never know you never know where you will end up.

I also want to let everyone know of our upcoming events around campus.  Starting on February 6th Student Life will have the new Student Trustee and Student Government of 2012-13 applications for any student who is interested in running. There will be a Glowing Hearts Dance Hosted by the GLOW club.  We will also be having a leadership workshop on Getting Extraordinary Things Done in Your Club/ Organization and a Valentine’s Day celebration held on February 14th.
