The students were treated to a traditional dinner of turkey and stuffing, green beans, corn, bread and mashed potatoes. This yearly event which has been running for decades, is meant as a way for international students to learn more about American culture and also to socialize with other students. As Thanksgiving is primarily a North American tradition, many students from other parts of the world do not know much about this holiday. Kim Hardiman, who teach- es at the Embry-Riddle language institute said that she always conducts a lesson in her English classes about American holidays and why their significance. Hardiman said, “It’s also a time for them to come out and have a meal together, and have a sense of family. Many of these students come here alone with no friends, and this gives them a chance to bond and become a family here.” After the dinner, Aaron Clevenger, Director of Student PETER TAN/AVION Activities and Campus Events, THE STAFF FROM STUDENT Activities and Campus Events conducted some party games, Department hosted and served a full Thanksgiving dinner on with prizes for the winners.

Find Your Focus When you sit down to start a task does everything else suddenly seem to capture your attention? What do you do when the project is due tomorrow and you are nowhere near being finished? The easy answer is to keep working; the definitive word being easy. We all know there are times when it is not a bit easy to keep going. But FOCUS is the key.

FOCUS F- FIVE more rule. Work for five more minutes, complete five more problems, finish five more tasks. You get the idea.

O-ONE thing at a time. Force yourself to stay with one task at a time. Remove all possible distractions. Turn off the TV, the IPod, the cell phone, etc.

C-CONQUER procrastination. Stop putting things off. Consider how much time you have wasted working on putting something off and as Nike says “Just Do It”.

U-USE barriers. Block out the environment around you. The easiest way to do this is to frame your face with your hands. This technique narrows your attention to the task at hand.

S-SEE only the moment. Don’t start worrying about later, tomorrow, or next week. Pay attention to what is in the moment and keep yourself in the “here and now”. ! AnGel Tree
