Corre tu propia carrera: cómo desarrollar y mantener una mentalidad saludable (descripción general)

It can be difficult for young people to develop confidence in who they are, but it is this process that allows them to grow and (hopefully) reach their full potential.  As a high school teacher for more than a decade, and father of three children (3, 7, and 12 years old), I am always guiding kids as they learn their personal strengths & weaknesses in any given situation.  

This one-time class is meant to help students identify and differentiate between their *natural* strengths (and, to an extent, weaknesses) and their *desired* strengths through honest self-reflection.  I will talk about setting goals to develop the areas of desired focus, as well as dealing with setback, and ways to avoid comparing oneself to others.

Sometimes hearing things from an objective third party that reinforces what is said at home is all it takes to get kids into a positive mindset, which is the goal of this class.
