Who Do YOU Want to Be?

By

What do you want to be? Two students studying

Identity is such an important part of how we present ourselves to others and how we learn to understand ourselves and how we function in our day-to-day lives. As humans, we all have our own individual experiences that make us unique. These experiences then shape habits and behaviors that we tend to hold on to because they feel comfortable and safe.

There are things about ourselves that we simply accept for what they are because it is easier than trying to change who we have always been. Are we meant to just accept these negative traits and try to function around them? Or do we have the power to look at these personality traits and change them?

I often hear students saying things like “I am just bad at managing my time,” “I don’t like to study,” “I’m much too lazy to get ahead on my assignments.” These personality traits are then used as excuses that limit a student’s ability.

Through Identity Based Coaching, everyone can decide who they want to be and make the changes necessary to become that person. You do not have to be the student that is always forgetting about deadlines or where you are supposed to be. You do not have to be the student that dreads studying. You do not have to be the student that always waits until the last minute to get work done.

Only YOU have the power to make these changes. Instead of thinking about the changes you want to make as your current self, switch the focus to your future self. Who are they? What traits do they have that you are currently striving for? Do not think about the things you are trying be, but the things they already are.

This is not a simple task. Changing your perspective takes a lot of reflection and vulnerability. A Success Coach can help you have these tough conversations and grow from them. Take the first step towards creating your future self and make an appointment with a coach today.

SWIC Precision Machining courses at Red Bud High School open to the public

By

Learn the basic principles of precision machining from safety and set up to drilling and cutting in Southwestern Illinois College courses offered at Red Bud High School this fall.

SWIC will offer two Precision Machining Technology courses, PMT 101 Intro to the Machine Trades and PMT 102 Intermediate Machining at the high school, 815 Locust St., in Red Bud. The courses are open to the public as well as to Red Bud High School students.

Both four-semester-credit courses count toward the SWIC Precision Machining Technology Associate in Applied Science Degree and Certificate. They will be offered Monday and Wednesday nights: PMT 101 – Aug. 19 to Oct. 14, 5:15-9:35 p.m., and PMT 102 – Oct. 16 to Dec. 11, 5:15-9:50 p.m.

“SWIC wanted to offer the residents of Randolph County the opportunity to experience these career-building courses in the local area,” said SWIC Dean of Technical Education Brad Sparks. “If they discover their interest in Precision Machining, they can purse the college’s other degree and certificates courses and start working toward a career.”

In PMT 101, students will learn basic hand tools, measuring tools, and layout procedures, then transitions into basic machine principals including safety, operation, and part set-ups for primary and secondary machining. In PMT 102, students will learn   

four machine operations (drilling, turning, milling, grinding). Thread cutting, advanced milling operations and the introduction of the surface grinder will be covered.

Graduates of the PMT program are prepared to work as toolmakers, CNC programmers and operators, general machinists and maintenance machinist in manufacturing as well as the steel, chemical, oil, food and beverage industries.
