Bus Stop Jeff

Jeff first wants to say that he is sorry about not writing you in a while. Just like everybody, Jeff needs a break too sometimes, so he went on VACATION! But now it is time to get back in the groove. Jeff says that you can't have a break if you don't start the work. Now that Jeff has finished his vacation, he is ready to get back to work, specifically going to school to study the art of Turtleology. Jeff knows that this will not be an easy task, but he is going to work hard. Jeff says, "The harder the task, the greater the satisfaction!" He knows that if you work hard on something, you will feel more accomplished once your task is finished. No matter what, keep going. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Learning Jeff

Jeff knows that school and work can sometimes be frustrating and even boring at times. The tasks can be uneventful, and they take a lot of work and time that sometimes we don't have. Jeff wants you to remember that if you are doing something by yourself, it may make your experience less enjoyable. He encourages you to get involved with other people. Whether it is learning in a class, playing a sport, or going to work, it is always more fun to do things with others. Jeff says, "Learn to have FUN!"

Art Jeff

Jeff loves to be artistic! He loves to see all the colors and shapes working together to make a wonderful piece of art. They say that the eyes are the bridge to the soul, so if we are looking at something beautiful then it is going strait into our heart. Jeff says you can't spell heart without 'art'! Jeff wants to see some of your artistic talent. If you are willing, please send a picture of your masterpiece (could be anything, even a turtle) to visserg1@central.edu, and Jeff will put your picture up right here!

NOTE: I will not put anyone's name on this that doesn't want their name on it.

Special Thanks To Jack who gave me this painting!

Growing Jeff

Jeff wants you to remember your inner child. No matter how old you get, remember yourself when you were younger. Each day as a child, your goal was to have fun. Why does that have to change? Sure you get older and have more responsibilities, but that doesn't mean that the fun has to go away. Find a job that you love to do. Try and make some jokes each day. Spend time playing games or doing what you love. Jeff says, "Go ahead and grow up, but don't let it get you down!"

Flying Jeff

Jeff says, "Look at the bright side of life, even if you feel stuck!" He remembers one time that he was walking down a hill and he stumbled. Jeff rolled to his back and couldn't get back to his feet, but he didn't think 'Oh no. I'm stuck.' but rather he thinks, 'I can fly!' He tries to take a bad situation and turn it around by looking at the positive. We can do this as well. Whenever you are feeling down in the dumps, just try and remember all the good things in life. When you do this, life's troubles don't seem as bad anymore. Jeff wants you to remember that you can fly too, if you believe in yourself!
