College News 1-6-03 Aloha Juniors and Seniors and Parents, Have you noticed how the senior year is a major life transition time? Are you finding that: Change is coming faster than you can keep up with it? What worked for you in the past is no longer working for you? Choices have important life consequences? After years of work, all you're doing is applying for more school--When you are burned out on school right now? ( you too parents!) There are new pressures to perform in all kinds of ways? (you too parents!) You and/or your friends are doing or saying stupid things--mindlessly blowing it? You sit down to study or work and find that you don't have the "brain RAM" for it? You are more worried than usual? You want your last days together as a full-time family to be upbeat and supportive, but they aren't? The coaching profession and the latest in adult developmental psychology offer some great tools for major life transitions. Discover: New insights into life transitions and how they work What is normal and what is "over the top" Valuable life skills for the senior year and college transition (and the "empty nest" transition!) Who: Juniors or Seniors and parents, college students home on break Where: Seabury Hall dining hall When: Monday, January 6, 6:30 p.m. Presenter: Lynn Rasmussen is a Coach University-trained business and life coach practicing in Makawao.
