For this installment, I asked School Social Worker Mrs. Taberski to give some advice about a frequent question she gets.
Q: What can a student do if they feel overwhelmed by school and trying to balance other activities?
A: You have to find time to relax. They have so much going on that they do not take time to take care of themselves. They also should not procrastinate. Address what needs to be taken care of.
Q: Students are worried about not knowing what they want to do in the future. If they see their peers making plans, they tend to get more overwhelmed. What can students do?
A: You don’t have to have all the answers today. Put yourself out there and see what you like. Do volunteer work or a job shadow for a day, see what you like. Look into an internship opportunity. Think about your talents, strengths, and what you enjoy.
