Dear College Channel members,
Happy (almost) Spring!
With the weather warming up and the days getting longer, it’s a great time to shift into a positive mindset and tackle the rest of the school year with energy and focus!
For March, we will continue sharing with you the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, by Sean Covey. This month we will focus on Habit 3: Put First Things First. Habit 1 says, “You are the driver, not the passenger.” Habit 2 says, “Decide where you want to go and draw up a map to get you there.” Habit 3 says, “Now, get there! Don’t let roadblocks knock you off course.” The key to this is learning to prioritize and manage your time so that your first things come first, not last.
Check out these things to keep you on track…
