Hello!

My name is Ginny Helmandollar. I am a senior from Louisa County High School and the Blue Ridge Virtual Governor's School program.  A component of my Senior Project is to give back to the community, so I have chosen to begin a podcast called Us, Now. In each episode, I have a discussion with various guests from around my school about relevant social issues high school students face today.

For my first episode, we will be talking about student burnout. Student burnout is a common problem that many, if not all, students face at some point in time. It is characterized by feelings of physical and emotional exhaustion. Some topics that we talk about today include:

  • What is burnout? Do definitions differ?
  • What causes burnout?
  • How much is too much?
  • How much is enough?
  • What is the gender discrepancy between effort levels?
  • How can we help solve student burnout?
  • A special thank you goes out to Mr. Tom Trovato, Ms. Jessica Rabil, Nicole Harlow, and Gordon Alexander for participating in my podcast! Please email [email protected] for any feedback, questions, or requests for future episodes.

    Thank you for listening!
