Students around the country have started school or are preparing to start within the next 3 weeks. This is a good time to update their physical and eye exams. Every state has different immunization requirements, click here to see what your state requires.
Sometimes schools will have specific paper work for your doctor to complete. If the student has a medical condition and is an athlete they may need to provide medical clearance to participate in their sport of choice. It will save you time if you have these documents ready for the doctor at the time of the office visit. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about vaccines.
Lastly, if you still need school supplies, take advantage of your states "sales tax holiday." This will allow you to save money on clothes, shoes and other supplies.
This year take the time to plan for the things you want to do over the next 3, 6 or 12 months. If you are a rising junior or senior, start looking for colleges and scholarship funds now. If you're a college student, begin looking for internships or jobs in the first semester.
“If you believe you can accomplish everything by "cramming" at the eleventh hour, by all means, don't lift a finger now. But you may think twice about beginning to build your ark once it has already started raining”
― Max Brooks
Have a Positive academic year!
