COURIER LIFE, JAN. 29-FEB. 4, 2021 13
If you are like me (and
millions of other people),
the new year brings with it
a time to reflect on the previous
year, as well as a time
to make resolutions for areas
you want to improve on,
new things you want to experience
or old habits you
want to break.
If you are like me (as
well as millions of other
people) your list of resolutions
is long, but often short
lived. The mistake I make
(and millions of others) is
believing that January 1st
is the only time of the year
we can make resolutions.
In reality, we have the ability
to make changes every
day of the year, every day
of the week and every hour
of day. The key, I’ve discovered,
is to make your list
short by identifying one or
two priorities in a mix of
areas, like health (exercising),
personal fulfillment
(learning to drive) and
self-improvement (earning
your college degree). Your
In 2021, the city of New York will
use Ranked-Choice Voting for all
NYC primaries and special elections.

Now rank up to
list can range anywhere
from easy to accomplish (I
got this!) to difficult (What
was I thinking?).
For many, the drive to
start college, the need to
return to college and the
desire to finish college falls
into the difficult (What was
I thinking?) range for many
reasons, like financial constraints,
family responsibilities,
or basic skills that
may be lacking in some areas.
If earning a college degree
has been on your unfulfilled
list of resolutions,
listen closely; this is the
year you can fulfill this
resolution. We are fortunate
that colleges understand
the many difficulties
that students face, and the
challenges that often prevent
them from achieving
their educational and professional
goals. At Kingsborough,
special programs
like ASAP (CUNY’s Accelerated
Study in Associate
Program) provide financial
support and intensive
advisement to support student
success. Our FLEX
program is specially designed
to meet the needs of
adult students in a flexible
way and the College’s Access
and Resources Center
(ARC) links students to
needed external supports
in areas such as housing,
childcare and financial services.
With these supports,
special programs and more
awaiting you, starting, finishing
or earning a college
degree can be a resolution
that is achievable this year.
Make 2021 the year you
get it done!.
