2. Be prepared for challenges. Have “plan b” options in case you need them.

3. Take time each day to “reflect” on what you have learned and done.

4. Actively engage in your classes and program activities.

5. Focus on building your strengths.6. Balance your “work” time and personal

“fun” time. You need both.
