New/Old

It's a new year! And with this year, comes an abundant range of opportunities. It's time for new goals, new standards, new methods, and yes, new mistakes. As the beloved scientist Albert Einstein once said, "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new". Yet, we must still try to find the balance between new and old. Continuing with the previous line of obnoxious, only semi-relevant, quote-dropping, consider this witty statement from Sir Winston Churchill: "Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old." So it seems that during this school year we must strive to attain the perfect equilibrium between innovation and sustainability, between continued thoughts and mold-breaking ideas.
Although I may be taking this train of thought into a slightly less majestic realm, this is one of the most important things that I am keeping in mind about my CAS activities this year. I should be committed to the projects from before, but open to trying new things. This is why I'm continuing in Students for the Environment for the fourth year in a row (Only this time as co-chair!), but also testing out Flight Club (as an amateur aviation enthusiast). I'm staying dedicated to NHS and the Associated Student Body, but also serving as Stage Manager for the play Macbeth (the domain of theater is one I have steered away from for far too long).
It's an exciting year with exciting possibilities. And I will end the exciting first post of the exciting year here, as I am dangerously close to a critical limit of cliches. Be yourself! Take risks! Follow your heart! There is no spoon!
