Don Your Mask - Ambitiously

Our word of the week is ambitious, which is a strong desire to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. Many times, students develop a rigid routine that allows them to stay on track and achieve their goals. However, recently routines have been thrown off schedule and new techniques and routines are being developed, causing changes to everything. Although some changes and challenges have occurred, as students of learning, it is a must that you remain ambitious toward getting your tassel.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that COVID-19 spreads primarily by respiratory droplets transmitted via close contact (within six feet) of an infected person. Dr. Loren Miller, a physician and researcher at the Lundquist Institute in Torrance, said masks are not intended to protect the person wearing them but to shield the transfer of saliva onto another person, potentially infecting them. (Los Angeles Times) Recently, the White House recommended that all Americans wear a face mask when venturing among the public. Therefore, I encourage you to become ambitious toward COVID-19 and don your mask

Here is a simple video explaining how to create a mask so you can don your mask ambitiously to fight COVID-19 while getting your tassel at Wallace Community College.  

"Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”
