💡 Leadership Quote - Jackson Morabito

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” – Jackson Morabito

Hey there, Gators! 🎉

As you wrap up the first semester, remember what Mark Twain said:

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

It’s not about being perfect or doing everything at once—it’s about taking that first step. Every little effort you make now sets the stage for what comes next.

Celebrate what you’ve accomplished so far, and get ready to dive into the next semester with curiosity, energy, and confidence. Your future is waiting—and it all starts with starting! 🚀

❄️ Happy Last Week Before Winter Break!
