To kick off the school year with a positive, goal-orientated mindset, students will choose a book which can be described as inspirational. This book can be from nearly any point-of-view -- a leader, writer, athlete, coach, veteran, medical professional, inventor, celebrity, immigrant, artist, academic, activist, entrepreneur, prisoner, etc. It can be first or third-person narration, historical or contemporary, fiction or nonfiction. It can be a novel, a memoir/autobiography, or self-help book. Find something that, ideally, you find fascinating. Read it this summer and be ready to share about it with your peers as soon as we return to school. Don’t wait until the last week before school starts – pick something early and take the time to enjoy it.
