I believe in the importance of setting goals, and I have set goals for myself every year since 1966.  Fourteen years ago, when my son was 15 and my daughter 10, I began asking them to also take a few days before the New Year to set goals.  I modeled the importance of goal-setting by emailing them a copy of my own goals.  And as a true believer in the power of goals, I have also required my CPSi students to set goals at the beginning of each year to help them take charge of their education and their well-being.

The summer before her junior year of high school, Molly Moore chose CPSi to help her find a “best-fit” college and develop a plan to get her there. As part of her CPSi program, I worked with her in identifying colleges that would be right for her and advised Molly and her family in planning visits and preparation for tours and interviews. One school Molly visited was The University of Redlands, which she had known very little about prior to visiting.  After her visit, she put Redlands on the top of her list of college choices.
