It's the new year, and while many people are setting goals and resolutions in how they want to PERSONALLY come out of this year--it can also be a great time to pause and reflect on the goals of your student group as well. At MASC/MAHS, we think that these two processes go hand-in-hand, that students who are consistently striving to better themselves, will in turn continue to make their organizations, schools, communities, and world better places.

Are you a student trying to balance ALL of the following things?
-school and homework
-studying and extra classwork
-student council, honor society, or other student groups
-a sports, music, or drama involvement
-your community and service involvements
-family and personal commitments
-your friendships

It can be baffling!

Recently, I had to turn to a resource that I learned of MANY, MANY years ago at MASC/MAHS workshops as a student. It was neat to see that something like this stood the test of time, and made its way into my life as an adult. It's called the Importance/Urgency Grid. It's a simple task--but one that can put EVERYTHING that you need to balance in perspective!

Technology is expanding, it seems like each month there are new tools coming out that our schools, bosses, advisers, or teachers want us to use. At MASC/MAHS, we know that sometimes this can intimidate even the most savvy of users. As we see them, you will see brief articles on online resources that you can implement in your classroom, council or chapter.
