NYMA's Midterm Week: A Time for Growth and Learning As we enter Midterm Week (Jan 9-12) at New York Military Academy (NYMA), it’s a time not just for assessments but for significant growth. In the lead-up, cadets showed remarkable engagement, seeking clarification and refining study methods - a testament to their dedication and our nurturing environment. This period is not solely about academic rigor; it’s equally about developing resilience. We focus on teaching cadets to manage stress and perform under pressure, equipping them with skills for life beyond academia. The Midterm Week is also a showcase of our community's strength. The support from parents, teachers, and peers is crucial, highlighting the collaborative spirit of NYMA. Our approach to midterms goes beyond testing academic knowledge. It includes teaching time management, prioritization, and individualized study strategies. These skills are crucial for academic success and are invaluable life lessons. As educators, we strive to balance academic demands with the mental and emotional well-being of our cadets. This holistic approach is at the heart of our educational philosophy. Midterm Week at NYMA is a reflection of our commitment to not just educate but to foster all-around development. In conclusion, Midterm Week at NYMA is more than a series of exams; it’s a comprehensive learning experience. We are proud of our cadets' resilience and commitment and are excited to see them grow into well-rounded individuals ready to face future challenges. #NYMAMidterms #HolisticEducation #CadetDevelopment

Love this and Hook'em Horns. But my advice to all of the Longhorns and wish-you-were Longhorns who want to make it in public affairs remains the same: get out there. Join a campaign. Work the grassroots. Realize that the public in public affairs is paramount. Then go work on the Hill - get your "hand stamped" and understand how the sausage is made. Once you have those insights then the world of public affairs and smart political consulting is yours.
