The Importance of Positive Affirmations for Children

Positive affirmations are a very important part of a child’s life. They can help a child overcome negative thoughts as well as build self-esteem. Having children repeat positive affirmations can help them believe in them and can bring about positive changes.

Children should know and feel that they are loved and that they are capable of doing what they may think is the impossible. Positive affirmations can tremendously boost a child’s confidence and give them hope. They make a child feel important and special.

To contribute to helping children build self-esteem, have confidence, and feel special and important, I have written an illustrated the “I AM:Words of Encouragement & Inspiration Alphabet Coloring Book” for children ages 4-7.

This children coloring & activity book provides encouraging, uplifting, and inspiring words from A – Z, as well as a character or characters with captions to bring the meaning of the word to life and in a way that is relatable. It also includes a glossary to define each word used. Bonus page: There is an alphabet photographic & traceable letter activity page that can also be colored at the end of the book.

5 Things College Students Can Do to Be Successful in Life

As financial literacy is lacking in the world today, I am motivated to promote financial literacy. My experiences regarding high school, college and transitioning into adulthood after college, has inspired me to promote financial guidance to young adults by providing powerful and inspirational ways in which a student can take advantage of in order to achieve success after college life. Preparation for success begins years before a student attends college. Below are five things college students can do to be successful in life.

1. Prepare for the ACT/SAT in middle school or earlier so that there is a greater chance of scoring high on both tests, as higher test scores will provide the student a better chance of earning a scholarship. It is also important for students to get involved in extracurricular activities. Remember, college is still possible and can be affordable even when a student doesn’t have a scholarship.

2. Students must be mindful regarding the selection of his or her career choice. It is imperative for the student to identify and select the right career that will suit him or her long-term. Being indecisive in career choice and changing majors half way through college or later, wastes a tremendous amount of time and money.

3. Students must be aware of how important it is to obtain and maintain good credit. Without having any credit or good credit, a student can have a difficult time receiving lower interest rates on their car, house, etc. Higher interest rates will cause higher car, house and etc. monthly payments. The three credit bureaus report and provide credit history on each individual and demonstrate how well a person has been paying his or her bills. The credit rating score will determine what interest rate the individual will receive.

4. Students must prepare for the workforce while attending college. Without preparation prior to graduating from college, a student may struggle or find difficulty in landing a job in his or her field soon after graduation. Many employers seek individuals who have had experience in the field for at least one year and will not consider interviewing a student without experience.

5. Lastly, saving early for retirement is a must. Many young adults feel that they have plenty of time to save for retirement, but in reality they do not. I have heard so many adults say that they wish they started saving as soon as they started working as a young adult and regret not doing so because they have to work longer than desired.

In Conclusion, these are the five things that college students can do to be successful in life. College students deserve a shot a success. Take charge of your life and be the next success story!
