Do you remember your first college visit? Do you want to take your student or child on a college tour but are stuck at home?Ā 

I will never forget my first college visit. No one in my family had ever earned a college degree. I was raised thru high school by my grandfather that had only completed 3rd grade. Never had I set foot on a college campus.Ā 

I was lucky enough to be part of an organization called GEAR UP. I was in 7th grade and I remember stepping on the bus. Our advisor for GEAR Up to...

COACHING Learn the PLAYBOOK. In 1st to 3rd grade a group of us that got to school before the other students would play outside.

Introduction to Student Leadership: Student Leadership Playbook 1. Choose

Jun 18, 2020
 
CHOOSE to attend, join, and be a part of the club, organization, team, etc. The first step is always the hardest. Student Leadership is a choice. I can remember starting middle school and seeing signs/flyers on the walls. Come to this meeting. Join our club. Be a part of our organization.Ā

Have you ever noticed that whatever activities you invest or spend the most time in your success goes?

Muhammad Ali "The Greatest"Ā - "I don't count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting because they're the only ones that count. That's what makes you a champion."

Jonathan Medina - "There is always a way to Win! Invest in yourself to find the way to Victory. Invest in your Leadership!"

Investing vsĀ Spending

Investing is to put something in to get something even better out later. Spending is to use up without getting something better. If I give you $20 and you give me back $30 that was a good investment of the $20. If I give you $20 and you give me back $10 that was a bad investment. That works so many other things besides money. When we put money in ban...
