 You have put incredible amounts of time, effort and financial resources into preparing to get into college, yet how much thought have you given what you will do once you get there?!!  Over 1/3 of college freshman drop out before the end of their first year and half fail to graduate. For a smooth transition, there is much more to do than choose a roommate and pick out your bedding!!  Come spend a few hours with others students from the Class of 2012 and begin to focus on your upcoming freshman year.  Turn your apprehension and nerves into excitement and confidence!    

 

Two years ago, I commenced a program that focused on the health and well being of high school graduates embarking on their freshman year of college. Transitions are difficult at any stage of life, but particularly as students embark on independent living for the first time. Understanding how realistic expectations and a postive/growth mindset can greatly impact those first challenging months and ultimately, your college experience, is valuable and important.  We will discuss and explore what to expect, how to take care of yourselves, and how to achieve a sense of balance and control in your life at a time when you could easily become overwhelmed.  

 

Here's what some of our past participants had to say:

"I was definitely not bored!  Everything was interesting and informative.  Don't change a thing!!"  Stephanie S.

"Everything I was concerned about was discussed."  Nicole G.

"Having all the information from this session I feel so much less overwhelmed and more confident with my upcoming college experience." - Elaine T.
 
"So I got your email yesterday and realized that I never emailed you and just said a huge thank you!  I ended up having a great year at school and am so happy that I stuck it out!  Thank you so much for everything that you did!" - KK 
 

Please contact Shari@ShariFishWellness.com (713-899-6159) to tailor a workshop for your group.   You and your friends will enjoy an important, informative, transformative, and fun event!
