It’s customary to make resolutions at the start of a new year, so here’s one for Solano County students as they head back for a new school year: I resolve to get to school every day, on time.

Older students may roll their eyes and groan, but it’s a resolution worth following if they want to graduate from high school. (And remember, a high school graduate makes, on average, $1 million more than a dropout over a lifetime.)

It turns out that, like so many things in life, just showing up can make the difference between success and failure.
