"Watching students grow in confidence week after week was the best part of this course. The lessons were engaging and relevant, and the built-in journal prompts and Friday discussions made it easy to connect the content to real, life decisions. As a facilitator, I appreciated how clearly everything was laid out, I just showed up and helped students reflect."

“I truly picked up a lot of great tips that will help make my application process and eventual transition into college a lot easier! What I appreciated most was how these tips can more so help with anything and everything. I learned how to become more scheduled and organized, I've been becoming more organized recently on my own but with this course, I felt 100% reassured that I was on the right track. I also learned how to set more advanced SMART goals that can be used in any aspect of my life and reassured me, I can accomplish anything I want and sooner than anticipated! Thank you for the opportunity with this course, I enjoyed it Ms. Sharrell, you made it fun and informative! “
