Mom's Choice Award for Young Adult Books—College Guides (Gold)The hard truth is that not all teens who enter college may graduate on time or at all. And often it isn't academics and classwork that trip students up. Instead, transitioning to independent living can be too much or too challenging for teens and this sometimes affects the best of students!
Using a readiness survey and handy worksheets, On Your Own will help teens get ready for the first years away from home. Inside, you'll find easy-to-use advice and strategies that will allow them to map out a plan and cultivate the skills they'll need to succeed in college.
On Your Own is loaded with tips and resources to further assist teens in creating a personalized plan and center on developing three crucial skill areas:
Self-determination skills (advocacy, management, communication)
Daily living skills (self-care, organization, life balance)
Academic skills (self-knowledge, study habits, time management)
With this guide, teens will learn just what you need to do to succeed in college.
Now is the perfect time to get ready!
