How to Prepare to go Back to School:
What is needed to Prepare to go Back to School? As I reflect on what I would need to go back to school, there are four things that come to mind: A map, supplies, transportation, and motivation. Having access to these four elements would prepare me to go back to school, and they could be helpful to others who are also preparing to go back to school.
1) Map
Where is my classroom located? How about the gym? the cafeteria? Without a map it could be challenging to find the location of areas of importance in school. Even if we are familiar with the school grounds, there may be a place that is new or unknown to us. As we take the time to get to know the school grounds, and ask for directions when we don't know where we are going, we will feel more familiar with, and more comfortable in, our schools.
2) Supplies
Every journey requires the necessary supplies to successfully complete the trip, in education there are necessary supplies that are needed. From the most basic of needs (paper and pencil) to the latest and greatest (Tablet, Phone) supplies for school play an important role in achieving success. Gathering the necessary supplies helps prepare to go back to school.
3) Transportation
How does one get to school, and once there, how does one get some place else? Some can walk to school by themselves or with a buddy, others need to arrange complex weekly carpools. You may have a ride to your after school activities, but eventually have to make your way back home. With careful planning, some patience, and sense of security, it is possible to arrange adequate transportation to go back to school.
4) Motivation
"I don't wanna go to school..." "I don't want to go to that class." We hear it. We think it. We say it. We feel it. Yet we gain the needed motivation to go back to school. After all, we already have the transportation to get there, the necessary supplies to succeed, and a map to guide us through our educational journey.
