In this episode, Lisa and Johnny discuss:
- The pressures students are under from all directions.
- How parents can recognize when their students are struggling and how to help them.
- Culturally immersive programs and how they can burst the bubble students are living in.
- Creating change with important life experiences for your student.
- Learning valuable life skills during transformational experiences.
Key Takeaways:
- 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.
“Exposing our young folks, especially those who don't have a lot of world experience, to art, history, music, food, community, language, all of those things, is medicine for the soul.” – Johnny Tock
