Schoooooool's Out For Summer!



Unless your kid has a sweet internship set up with Nintendo, you may want to consider unplugging the video games this summer.

Internships, work experience, and volunteerism are all critical aspects to an individuals ultimate success in college, career and life.

Some common traits among successful young adults:
1) Have experience working as a part of a team
2) Exercise judgment (can think quickly and make good decisions)
3) Possess self-confidence
4) Exercise discipline (can resist temptation)
5) Awareness of, and respect for, individual differences (ethnic, demographic, etc.)

So, even if you can play Alice Cooper's famous song on Legends of Rock at the Expert Level, I can guarantee you, that will not win over a potential employer or college admissions officer.
