Did you know?

Brad built a specialty in college planning.

What do families do wrong with college planning?

They start too late! The key is to start early enough.

Did you know?

College will cost you between 10 and 70K per year or more!

Brad’s words of wisdom: Do it on purpose instead of by accident. So if you go to college, figure out where you plan to go and what the plan will be when you get there. Don’t just show up at college, get good grades and think it’s all going to work out for you.

On today's show, Alexis is joined once again by Elizabeth Dankoski of The Dream School Project.

Elizabeth shares some of the biggest myths about the college admission process and teaches us ways to make ourselves more interesting and attractive to college admission officers.

Elizabeth’s college admissions advice:

1. Elizabeth’s college admissions myth: Grades and test scores are the only things you should focus on when applying to college

2. Elizbeth’s best college admissions essay? A great story is one that describes how you have grown and evolved.

3. How to become more interesting? Ask yourself what light’s you up! What are you curious about? And think about what problems in the world you notice and want to address.

4. Advice to teens: Focus on what light’s you up and tap into your unique gift to the world. We all have a gift!

On today's show, Alexis is joined by Marc Hoberman, Founder and Director of Grade Success Inc. Marc gives us his best tips for how students can thrive at school and become better students.

Marc’s studying tips:

Study for 20 minutes at one time, then take a 5 minute break away from study area, then go back and review same material for 20 minutes to best retain material.

Marc’s study tip no no’s:

Don’t cram and don’t lie in bed while studying.

Marc’s best ways to get an “A”:

1. Be in tune with your teacher (go office hours and seek extra credit)

2. Form a study group with other smart students who you can learn from

3. Do the best you can

Marc’s advice for teens:

You are who your friends are. If you are hanging out/associating with people who are not nice then you need to move away from that. And set a goal and ask yourself what you are going to do for the next ten years to achieve your goal.

The Prepped and Polished Podcast is an educational and inspirational show that offers tutoring and test prep tips as well as interviews with celebrities and leaders in education. It is hosted by Alexis Avila, founder of Prepped and Polished LLC, a tutoring and test prep firm for K-college.

On today's show, Alexis is joined by Dr. Delvina Miremadi Founder & Chief Resilience Officer at Realize Your Resilience a company dedicated to helping individuals, groups, and organizations build upon their strengths and foster resilience so they can grow, succeed and thrive.

Delvina shares ways teens can develop the mental tools to overcome any life challenge that comes their way. She also teaches us how to follow the 50-40-10 rule. Listen in!

Fact: Delvina herself struggled with self-esteem issues and learned to conquer her struggles and now empowers others to do the same.

What parents can do to help their teens? Support them but don’t rescue them.

Advice for teens who put a mask on in school? Be kind to yourself, replace negative thoughts with positive ones, and don’t be afraid of failure.

Delvina’s words of wisdom for teens:

1. Believe in yourself and your abilities

2. Believe that your mind and you have control over your behavior and you can set that in a positive direction (leads to resilience)

3. Continue to learn and grow and make effort that will lead to increased resilience

4. Follow the 50-40-10 rule and work on the 40%. (50% of happiness is genetics, 10% is circumstance, 40% is determined by what you do everyday)
