I say that if you think positive thoughts, good things will come your way. If you can’t predict the future, why be negative about it? Over the years, I’ve been able to apply this thought process to various times in my life, like my first day in public school three years ago and even the first time I went on a job interview. Most recently I have been applying this to my A+ Tutoring.

I elected to take the A+ Study Hall during first semester this year. When I signed up for it, the class was for seniors who wanted to obtain their tutoring hours with a teacher at LHS. Since that is what I figured I would be doing, I already had everything planned out. I wanted to tutor with my Comm. Arts teacher from last year, Mrs. Jones. I had everything set, or so I thought. When I got to A+ Study Hall and was told that tutors would be sent to EPIC Elementary, I was a little surprised, and disappointed.

In past experiences, I have found it best to just go with the flow, roll with the punches and move on. That is exactly what I did when I found out I would be tutoring at EPIC. Keeping positive, I went to EPIC a couple days later, and met my 3^rd grade class. Instantly my mind was changed; I’d never felt so welcome by a group of students. Each day I walk in the room and am greeted by 50 smiling kids and two gracious teachers. I now look forward to going over to EPIC everyday now, because of those kids, teachers and the great atmosphere at the school.

Experiences like this always remind me to keep positive, and always have a good attitude about things, because if you have a bad attitude about doing something, you will be miserable the entire time you’re doing it. Besides, there is no point in being negative about things you can’t change. Odds are, if you look for the positives, you’ll find them.
