Today I said Yes in a business world (you can substitute free online high school) that keeps wanting to teach me to say No.

“Busy professionals (and busy students) need to learn to say ‘No!’” they tell me, “because that’s the way to avoid distractions that get in the way of your success.”

Well, I’m saying “No!” to that advice. (and you can say “no” also.)

I’m celebrating this pivotal moment because it’s part of my transformation into someone who spends less time trying to figure out life, and more time living it. I’m developing a new approach that puts me in a position to say Yes naturally because it aligns with my values. (How can you develop a new approach to a free online high school that aligns to your core values and will give you more time to live your life and less time trying to figure it out?)

This profound moment in history was instigated by a book by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans called Designing Your Life where they were teaching me about aligning my “workview” with my “lifeview.” (Again you can substitute workview with free online high school view)

If you value autonomy, hard work, and responsibility for a job well done, and yet your paycheck (or even your mindset) orbits a time clock, your workview (or free online high school view) and lifeview are not aligned. If what you find socially meaningful is not represented in your work (or school work or learning), you’re going to have a harder time with life satisfaction. This is the wisdom I earned from going through the exercises in their book.

By getting real about my workview (or your free online high school view) and my lifeview and then integrating them into one beautiful story, decisions about what to do with my time and energy can flow from Yes to Yes, giving me a more fulfilling and adventurous life.

So where do your free online high school view and lifeview integrate? Are you taking advantage of all that your free online high school has to offer? Do they have the right support and resources to help and inspire you to take your learning into the real world? If not, Hope High School Online is definitely the better free online high school choice but don’t wait. Get started on your new schoolview and lifeview alignment now.

“I have my whole life to decide what I want to do after online high school.” That’s what I said when I left high school. And you might be thinking that too. But I think it’s a mistake.

I mean, it’s a mistake if you’re thinking you can just go about your day at an online high school and then one day you’ll be on your way to success. Seriously! You don’t have your whole life ahead of you if you are allowing your route to be random.

However, It’s not a mistake if you’re exploring options along the way, basically designing your life with an eye towards what brings you joy. And a clear intention to follow a path that is your very own; with your very own loves validated; and your very own personality recognized. In that case, you actually do have your whole life to decide what you want to do. If you think about it, is there anything you loved 10 years ago that you still love today? Life changes! And if you are attentive to your direction you are setting yourself up to win at life.

So here are 3 questions to ask yourself after you finish online high school:

So here are 3 questions to ask yourself after you finish online high school:

I used to say if I work really hard, the right opportunities will come my way. This is a true statement. But if you’re not purposefully seeking opportunities, while still attending your online high school,  that you want to come your way, your chances of getting promotions to jobs you hate are super possible. Bosses and clients love hard workers. And if you’re a hard worker, believe me, you will be rewarded! But your boss or client may not care that it’s not your passion, she just cares that you’re hustling to make her look good.

Yes, now is the time to think about what you want to do; to be; to express. Not in terms of making life-long decisions that you’re stuck with forever and ever. But in terms of discovering, along with your daily duties what makes your soul sing.

Reasons Why Hope High School Online is Your Best Choice  for an Online High School

When you do an internet search for best online school options, a nice size list pops up. One that rises to the top of that list sits Hope High School Online in Glendale. After spending an hour plus with Rebecca Searles, their Online Data and Recording Coordinator, one can see why their success with their students has set them apart from their competition. 

“Traditional high school is not for everyone. We value each student’s uniqueness. This is reason behind Hope High School Online creating personal learning plans for each of their students. Their academic goals are developed by their learning styles.”, Searles states when I asked her to explain how Hope is the best option in Arizona. This seems to be the ingredient for Hope High School Online, which has doubled in size from last year. This free and accredited option gives Arizona families paths to pursue their other individual interests while gaining a high school diploma. This freedom to be an individual creates an environment of inclusion. Students feel comfortable and fit in with each other during the  social activities Hope provides several times a year.

Flexible timing for the students and their families is another important reason why Hope High School Online is the best choice for all involved. Teenagers need a minimum nine hours of sleep daily. Yet the reality of a teen’s sleep cycle is so different today. Hope High School Online provides the opportunity for these pupils to sleep later so they can start their academic day later when their minds are rested and ready to learn. Their five hours of class time per day can be fulfilled based on their choosing. According to Ms. Searles, “Our students are involved with work, sports activities, and personal creative pursuits. Some students in the past, have had the opportunity to make up school-work time when an event took them away for a week. Our program is perfect for these kids and their families.” 

“Our supportive academic environment girds the students up so we can help them from falling through the cracks and keeping them on their academic path to success.” Rebecca mentioned. Our faculty and staff deeply cares about each of our students. Their success is our joy too!” They use a tool called a “Scrum Board”. In this process, all the teachers come together on a weekly basis to discuss and problem-solve any of their students that are falling behind. If a student’s name comes up, one of Hope High School Online faculty members reach out to begin encouraging that student to get back on track. 

This one-on-one approach gives Hope High School Online the advantage setting them apart as the best online option in Arizona. The students are ready for a change so they come in anticipating a successful outcome. This student ‘buy-in” attitude really creates a hopeful mindset, which in turn, allows each student to be self-motivated owning their academic progress. All these key ingredients, which Hope High School Online offers their pupils, lead to the understanding with both faculty and students that you can’t hind. At Hope High School Online you will be an individual that is known for who you are and what you need for a great and successful high school experience!
