As you are a sophomore in High School--focus on your future goals (You will be graduating before you know it!)  Graduating from High School leaves you with many opportunities; whether it be that you want to continue your education or get into the job market.  However, it does sound as if you have noticed a change in your interest in High School and your ability to focus.  Do you feel overtired?  Are you eating healthy foods? Are you drinking enough water?  Could you not be feeling well?  Is the subject that is being taught not interesting right now?  Are you having any problems with your friends?  Do you feel like you can talk to someone (school counselor, teacher, coach, and/or your parents) about your feelings?  (there may be other questions you want to ask yourself as to what the cause of lack of concentration could be).

We want you to know that it may even be helpful to talk to someone.  We have counselors available 24/7 and sometimes just talking and sharing your feelings can help you focus and cope better with your feelings.

Take care and we hope that you will consider giving us a call--or at least keep us updated.

Kara, Counselor
