Calling All Online High School Arizona Students – <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLook where you want to go, not where you don\u2019t want to go.\u201d <\/strong>It\u2019s a lesson I learned the hard way on a mountain bike ride several years ago. Staunchly independent, raised with a zero-tolerance level for making mistakes, crashing into boulders and onto the ground rendered me completely incompetent, not just as a cyclist, but as a person. This internal working model told the story of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, one of my fellow riders, watching me wreck every five feet, enlightened me: \u201cAndrea. Look where you want to go, not where you don\u2019t want to go.\u201d This is something worth taking to heart, especially being in an online high school in Arizona. It\u2019s easy to be complacent while staring at a computer screen and not realize that you need to focus on where you want to go…instead of just existing in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I really wish I was the type of person who heard<\/em> what he was saying way back then. It was sage advice for a life well-lived. Unfortunately, the core belief that my character was somehow flawed because I made a mistake; I shattered a glass; stained my shirt; failed a test, or careened into cacti on a bike ride, blocked a mindset change. Is there something right now that is blocking a mindset change for you? Are you a new student to online high school learning in Arizona or have you been learning at an online high school in Arizona for a while now? Either way, it may be time to do a reset for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
