Keep Calm & Semester On.

This is a good time to remember those success strategies from the start of the semester. Here’s an article from the College Ready archives you can use as a refresher & to reassure them…

It takes You. Malala Yousafzai taught us that one girl, one person, with a message, a voice, and a pen, could stand up to power of the darkest kind, and change the world. Malala is the Nobel Peace Prize winning activist (the youngest ever to win) who was shot in the head by the Taliban on her way to school. Her crime? Wanting to get an education. Let’s assure that the 60 million girls worldwide…
