Success starts with the LOOK! Baggy jeans, short skirts, and wild hair

colors are a thing of the past when on the road to that dream job.

You have to look your best starting with your dress. Ladies, it’s easy

to throw on that head scarf and 6 inch pumps but you have to be

professional. Men, we know you love basketball shorts and tennis

shoes but a suit and tie could land you a great job. Dressing the part

can be inexpensive as well. There is no need to spend $400 on a suit,

when you could go to your local Goodwill or consignment shop and

get a great suit for less. Last month’s Fashion Show showed us what

to wear and what not to wear! Special thanks to Amy Schultz– Mar-

shall’s, Karen Thompson– Second Time Around, MC– Selina Soul of

96.3 Kiss FM, and Danielle Mitchell– Cosmetic Designer.

Quotable Quotes

Is this your last term at Virginia

College?

If you will finish your program (including externship) in September, you

need to meet with Ms. Cole during the week of 8/15 –8/19 to prepare

for the January 2012 graduation ceremony.

If you want your intelligence to grow: go to a library, a bookstore, or to school

If you want your health to grow: go to a gym, ride a bicycle, walk, or exercise more

If you want your spirit to grow: go to church, meditate, or find a qui-et place to pray

If you want your wealth to grow: go to a place where people are getting rich (like a real estate office or stockbroker's office), join an investment club, or start a study group and meet new friends who also want go grow richer.

If you want to expand your world: go to places you've never been before, and do things you've been afraid of doing before.

Getting Ready For

Back To School

The Golden Token

Jasmine K Anderson

There’s a dark engraved hole

Deep inside my heart

I don’t know why its there

But I know how it starts

I feel the world taking me

For everything I got

I try to fill my void

With love and understanding

But I just can’t figure out why

This keeps on happening

I live my life

I soar and I stride

I wonder why I even try

But I can never ever lose my pride

As long as I keep my faith

My determination will never die

I know my day is coming for me

To see the light

I guess the one in my world

Is not that very bright

So I must change my bulb

And use the box not open

So I can walk up to life and grab

THE GOLDEN TOKEN

Great! Send us an article.

To me this quote is saying that you may not like everything you have to do, but it may be neces-

sary to do it. You can never solve a problem without working out the solution. For example, if you

want a nice car, a nice house, and other nice things in life, you have to work really hard to get

them. At the time, you may not like or enjoy what you have to do to get those nice things, but at

the end of the day you will appreciate it. Not only with materialistic things, but you can’t be happy

in life period just sitting around not doing anything. At the end of the day, the actions you do will

be the end result of your happiness. The harder the work you put into whatever it is that you’re

doing will create a greater reward. Your determination of your happiness will motivate how driven

your actions are.—Willie Butler
