Happy New Year! To kick off the second semester of the Career Mentorship Program, we learned about Jon Gordon’s “One Word.” This is a word chosen by an individual to motivate and inspire them to improve something about their life throughout the course of that year. Each person’s word should be meaningful to them and what they want to accomplish in the coming year. There are three steps to choosing your one word, the first of which is to figure out what kind of person you want to become. For me, I want to work on being less of a perfectionist and more towards someone who is proud to learn from their mistakes. The second step is to identify the characteristics of the person you want to be. This person for me is someone who isn’t afraid to go beyond their comfort zone and try new things. The third and final step is choosing your word. My one word for 2019: adventure. To me, an adventure is stepping away from what is familiar in order to grow as an individual and become stronger and more independent than you were before. Adventures aren’t perfect, and while mistakes will be made along the way, they don’t take away from the beauty of the adventure or the experience that it provides. So, as I graduate high school this spring and begin college in the fall, I will keep my one word in mind, and remember to embrace every adventure the new year brings me.
