Instructor Corner
By: Instructor Alicia Duarte
Hi everyone, Instructor Alicia here.
I'm so excited it's finally November! It feels like this year has flown by. Personally, I am eager for the weather to start changing. I love to see the leaves change colors or stay in on a rainy day.
November is a time for reflection and gratitude. As Thanksgiving comes closer, it is essential to think about what is important to us and what we are grateful for. Sometimes we take the little things for granted and forget that we have more to be thankful for than we know. This is also a great time to show your family the appreciation you have for them. And not just your family, but the other communities you are a part of as well.
I am grateful for my family, everyone at Empower, and all the great memories I have made! One of my favorite memories this past year was the start of my junior year and reconnecting with all the people I hadn’t seen over the summer. However, since then junior year has presented many challenges. I have been able to overcome all these challenges with the help of my amazing support system and by always remembering to be thankful for the things I do have.
So this Thanksgiving, have fun reflecting on these past months, enjoy time with your family, and eat some amazing food!
