  Today and tomorrow we are conducting makeup exams on campus. Tomorrow, June 8, is also the final day for students of the 2015-2016 school year. With summer break upon us, this issue centers on the importance of continued reading during the break . . . avoiding the "summer slide." CCHS does have summer break reading expectations for all students (below). I also want to remind our school community that OCPS will begin its annual Summer Food Service Program on Monday, June 13. Last summer this terrific program served nearly 900,000 meals to youngsters throughout Orange County. As this is our final Community Brief of the school year, I would like to thank Ms. Cindy Schmitt for her energy and time each week working to produce these issues. I hope you found them helpful. HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY SUMMER VACATION! In Bear Pride, Dr. W. John McHale Principal Cypress Creek High School  |

INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY is the second most popular business newspaper in the United States . . . second only to The Wall Street Journal.
IBD's list is compiled from the results of thousands of case studies/biographies of what famous and successful people did to get where they are now - from Ben Franklin to Bill Gates to Mother Theresa to Babe Ruth to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. . . . Not simply the rich, but people who truly did extraordinary things with their lives.  1. HOW YOU THINK IS EVERYTHING: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment. (Put all negative thoughts and worry out of your mind - think positive - be happy.) 2. DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down you specific goals and develop a plan to reach them. (Clearly identify what you choose in life and focus on it constantly.) 3. TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don't be afraid to get started now. Just do it. (If it feels right for you, and you truly love it, jump straight into what you choose in life at this moment -- move now, for time passes so quickly.) 4. NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills. (Start now, for time passes so quickly.)  5. PERSIST AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up. (Focus.) 6. LEARN TO ANALYZE DETAILS: Get all the facts, all the information. Learn from your mistakes. (Also, trust you feelings, especially your first impression, for often this is true for many people.) 7. BUDGET YOUR TIME AND MONEY: Don't let other people or things distract you. (Know your priorities - put them in writing - think about them often - move towards them.)  8. DON'T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE: Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity (move into the greatest vision that you ever had about yourself -- see more in yourself and others than ever before). 9. COMMUNICATE AND DEAL WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others (and hence motivate yourself - see all people as one and have no fear). 10. BE HONEST AND DEPENDABLE, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Otherwise, No.'s 1-9 won't matter. (Truth should always be your highest choice.)
