You’ve Come Too Far, To Stop Now!We’ve all been there before– sitting in a flight andsuddenly we feel like the plane is being shaken in theair. You start getting nervous, holding on real tight tothe armrest of your seat. The pilot will warn us and say,“We are going to experience a rough and bumpy ride--I've asked our flight attendants to remain seated for theflight. And we do ask that you also observe the fastenseat belt sign and remain seated for the short durationof the flight today as well. Thank you.” This experienceis called turbulence. There are moments in life that wewill experience some turbulence. It will feel like we aregoing through a rough and bumpy ride! Our lifecircumstances will feel like we are going throughturbulence—shaking us with fear, doubt, anduncertainty. We can hold on real tight, but other timeswe feel like just throwing in the towel. We feel temptedto quit; to give up! As you continue with your education,some of your classes may feel like you are experiencingsome turbulence! But we encourage you to never giveup! Thomas Edison said it best: “Our greatest weaknesslies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed isalways to try just one more time.”So, keep trying onemore time! Keep pushing forward! Keep believing inyourself! Because You’ve Come Too Far, To Stop Now!

We made it! 2021 is here and I think it's something the whole world has beenlooking forward to. This has been such an interesting year for Pod one. For Ryan,he was able to graduate with his bachelor's and nail down a great opportunity asan academic coach here in Colorado Springs. Looking at where he was at thistime last year, he had a plan in mind but was more worried about getting aninternship and passing a math class he had been avoiding. Cairhys seemed to hitan interesting point in her career around the beginning of 2020. They startedlooking for better opportunities after leaving a teaching position at her old school.On top of that, the pandemic hit-making that job search a little bit harder. LikeRyan, Cairhys was able to get a position at GOAL High School and has beenloving every minute of it. James had a much different story going into 2020. Hisgoal was to buy a house for himself and his family. In March he made this areality! Looking at his property today he regrets nothing and is excited to see thememories that will be made.
2021 Resolutions!Ryan Blasberg: Buy a House in the area, spend more time outside, explore post-COVID Colorado SpringsCairhys Cox: Unlock all the characters in Super Smash Ultimate, put a fencearound the yard to avoid the pesky HOA, unlock all the characters in Mario Kart8, eat chocolate.James Queen: Get in better shape and obtain his teaching license.Sincerely,South Site POD 1
