Weâre now in the second half of the semester at Texarkana College, and we know this is the point when fatigue can start to set in. But this is also where the growth happens. When itâs hard, keep showing up. When youâre tired, keep showing up. When life throws obstacles in your way, keep showing up.
A Chinese proverb reminds us, âThe person who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.â Progress doesnât always feel fast or easy, but every step forward matters. Keep moving, even if itâs at your own pace.
Donât forget youâre not in this alone. Texarkana College has free resources available to help you push through and finish strong:
