Advice to Students

Be open to change.  Change is good.  You don’t have to have it all figured out by the time you graduate from NHS.  Yes, it is important to listen to the truth that guides you.  And yes, it’s important to plan and have goals.  But learn how to accommodate your plans and goals to the unexpected turns that life will inevitably bring.  And don’t worry about writing in full sentences. Today’s challenges prepare you for tomorrow’s journey.  Face those challenges.  Take that journey.
