Are you aware?
Are you aware? Students have conveyed that social media can intensify their anxieties and diminish their self-esteem, thus complicating their ability to make sound decisions. They experience stress due to the expectations set online and grapple with responsibility in this deeply interconnected yet detached digital environment. #growyourcharacter #characterorg #dotherightthing #leadershiptips #thinkbig #empoweringyou #characterdevelopment #characterhome #businesstraining #businessleader #leadershipteam #empoweringquotes #adversity #empoweringkids #empoweringlives

We Dine Together
What is the importance of inclusion? When we are excluded, we feel like it's our fault and we're not good enough. In Boca High, student Denis Estimon noticed some kids sitting alone at lunch, so he organized a club called "We Dine Together", which has been brought to more than 2,000 counties across the country. #growyourcharacter #characterorg #dotherightthing #leadershiptips #thinkbig #empoweringyou #characterdevelopment #characterhome #businesstraining #businessleader #leadershipteam #empoweringquotes #adversity #empoweringkids #empoweringlives

When you're trying to achieve something, you can't give up immediately — you have to keep trying and adapting your ideas to what works and what doesn't. Take it from Adam Grant, even the great composers came up with hundreds of compositions before stumbling into a masterpiece. #growyourcharacter #characterorg #dotherightthing #leadershiptips #thinkbig #empoweringyou #characterdevelopment #characterhome #businesstraining #businessleader #leadershipteam #empoweringquotes #adversity #empoweringkids #empoweringlives
