Why is it so hard to stay resolute on a resolution? Do you make one? Have you ever made one? Would you like to make one?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year dear students, parents, and teachers. Let me know how did it go this year if you made a resolution and if you are planning to make another… you have some more time to go before we roll out of this year and ring in the new. Here are some tips for you.

One Video of the Week

Getting up in the morning to workout on January second is pretty easy, but why does it become more difficult as the year continues? In this dynamic presentation, Adithya explores the science behind motivation.

Adithya Chakravarthy is a Grade 11 student at the University of Toronto Schools. At his school, Adithya is a senior executive in the Speech and Debate Society. Since grade 9, he has debated in tournaments across North America and Europe. He is also one of leading Indian Classical Vocalists in North America and has performed in venues across the globe.

He has won various music awards including the Carnatic Music Idol USA Junior Title. Adithya’s public speaking and debate performances have helped strengthen his persuasion skills. His TEDx talk will be focusing on ways people can motivate themselves to complete various tasks even when they struggle to find the drive necessary. When Adithya isn’t debating or leading a club, you will likely find him reading a science fiction novel or watching cooking shows.
