Passive vs. Active Education
OWN YOUR Learning
- Education vs Learning
- It's how this industry works
- Hands on, Videos, Reading
- Just scratching surface
- You should expect to struggle
- You should expect to feel behind others
- You should expect to feel overwhelmed
- DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS!
We have only 13 weeks.
YOU SHOULD EXPECT
Dealing with ADVERSITY
- Give up
- Get depressed
- Blame others
- Work hard, stay positive
Students who work the hardest and stay positive often surpass their "more experienced" peers.
