The worst trick of this time is that so many of us feel like we are going through it all alone. But physical proximity isn't what makes us a community. If you are feeling low, think of how much you've already accomplished to be where you are right now. Reach out to your friends and your support networks. And don't forget that we are rooting you on, Deacs, where ever you are.

First and foremost, congratulations on completing the semester! While not what any of us desired, your resolve and commitment to excellence in your academics is what makes Wake Forest students world class. As words of encouragement for not only exam week, but what I hope can be with you once you leave Mother, So Dear, I share with you the five things I tell my son each day and that I hold fast to myself. 1. Be grateful for what you have. 2. Be respectful of others. 3. Have a positive attitude. 4. Stay humble. 5. Learn something new. I encourage you to see if you can do these things each and every day and if you do, I believe you can find a healthy perspective on life and enjoy life to its fullest. As always, Go Deacs!
