Guidelines for Success
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Build self-esteem: | self-esteem is based on inner strength and it begins with trusting your ability to achieve your goals. It is essential that you develop high self-esteem while you are stills a student. |

| Lacking a game plan: | Having a game plan is the conscious act of planning your life, instead of just letting things happen. While an overall game plan is usually organized into large blocks of time (five or ten years), it is just as important to set daily, monthly, and ye |
