Obstinate - Word of the Week

The word of the week is obstinate, which is stubbornly refusing to change one’s opinion or chosen course of action, despite attempts to persuade one to do so. I think we can all agree that some people have been very obstinate to the guidelines put in place due to COVID-19. Some may be still be gathering in large groups, or not staying at home when necessary. It is important that we are practicing social distancing and obeying the stay at home order. It may seem that COVID-19 is sticking around longer than we had hoped, but If we continue to obey the CDC’s guidelines and our governors guidance, I am positive that we will defeat this pandemic and return to our normalcy. So I encourage you to continue practicing ways to protect yourself and your family from the virus, which include wearing your masks, washing your hands, and social distancing.

As students of learning, do not become obstinate to online education. Strive for success and get that tassel at Wallace Community College. Check out Brigitte Wickens "COVID-19 together we will rise up."
