Your Teen's (perfect) College Application Essay Highlights -Your teen is unique and has the opportunity to write about those things that matter to them, even if they have not had a lot of hardship in their life. -If overcoming a hardship or challenge is part of your teen’s identity, it may be the right thing to write about. This will not be the case for every student. -Your student’s essay should be very clear about who they are. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does need to be understandable. -Kids have a lot of great stories, but they want to ensure they tell the right stories that share their strengths and portray them correctly. Not every great story is a great story for what colleges want to know. -The four questions your student should consider are: what motivates you, what are you thinking about, how do you interact with others, and how do you solve problems? -Your student’s essay should be easy to write. Find a topic that is easy for them to write about and if it isn’t easy, it may not be the right topic. https://buff.ly/3YZjf1V

Raising Resilient Teens Highlights: -Stressors happen to your teen every single day. Helping them through these nuisance stressors will help them build the resilience to handle any stressor. -As a child’s arousal to the stressor increases, the parent tunes in to the child to connect with them in what they need. Over time, your child will learn to manage that stress on their own because they know they are not alone. -Holding healthy boundaries helps your children build resilience. Boundaries can come from a gentle place of care and communication and aren’t harmful. Children need their parents to make the hard decisions and hold those boundaries. -Building resilience in your child begins with you. https://buff.ly/3M5khS9

Performing Arts Majors: Tips for Navigating Admissions Highlights: -BA majors are liberal arts majors that work similarly to any other BA, like history or English, and are great for students who want a traditional college experience. -When students are still deciding which path to take, they should consider their desired college experience. -Many campuses have a student-run theater that your student can get involved with even if they aren’t a theater major. It will require some sleuthing to know what is available at each college or university. -Visiting campus is vitally important for theater majors and performance arts majors. Your student will want to meet the faculty and start building those connections even before they’re on campus as a student. -Musical theater is more competitive and rare as a major than other theater majors. Its admissions rate is about 2%. https://buff.ly/3YMdwMG

Transformative Cultural Abroad Experiences for Teen Personal Growth Highlights: -Students are pressured from all directions by family, peers, society, culture, teachers, and more. Many students don’t know that they can go down alternate paths than those they feel prescribed for them. -Struggles will be unique to each student and will look different for each of those students. -Travel can provide your student with a break from the turmoil of everyday life, allowing them to figure out who they are and what matters most to them.-There are more opportunities than people realize, and life is a marathon, not a sprint. Cultural experiences allow students to see some of the opportunities that they may not have known about otherwise.-Being college-capable and being college-ready are two different things. https://buff.ly/4cba7dq

Co-ops are a very valuable part of college, but most don't offer as robust an opportunity as the University of Cincinnati, the founder of Co-Ops. We're Celebrating Hannah Laman's completion of another Co-Op. We've been cheering her on since we worked with her in high school. “My college freshman twins said their intro to co-op class was nothing new because they learned it from Lisa in high school.” Angela Laman
Today concludes my 15 weeks of fun as a Sports Analytics and SEO Co-op at FOX Sports! I helped drive SEO by collaborating with product and editorial teams and writing 50+ SEO articles that resulted in over 400,000 clicks. Beyond content creation, I learned how to use several new programs such as Heap, Amplitude, Google Search Console, and Adobe Analytics to build dashboards that provide actionable insights into key app and website metrics. I am so grateful to everyone in the FOX Sports Cincinnati office for continuing to support me throughout this past semester, and I am excited to continue my work part-time through the fall while taking classes with University of Cincinnati - College of Engineering and Applied Science and University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business!

Public vs. Private Colleges: Myths and Facts Highlights: -Even if a school is faith-based, that does not mean every student is part of that religion. Students grow, and the best conversations are had when hard questions are asked. -Look at the About Page of colleges and universities. What they say and don’t say will tell you a lot about that institution’s priorities, values, and mission. -Your student should get their feet on campus before they enroll. While virtual resources are great, visiting should be a priority before enrolling. -Very few families will pay the full price of tuition at private schools. -Many of the smaller, private institutions operate like a village where there are activities throughout the day that lead to deeper relationships and community involvement that may not be available at larger universities. https://buff.ly/3WLDlv8
