Building on last week's discussion of college application x-factors, Tyler takes some time this week to dive deeper into the essential character building that is inherent in the process of weaving your extracurriculars together. With colleges increasingly looking for mature, thoughtful, impact-oriented young adults, it is more important than ever to expose students to the risks of real-world failure that are essential to developing those necessary characteristics. Listen in this week as Tyler shares a story about helping one of his students experience meaningful failure, and how that shaped her high school experience, personal development, and college applications.
