Patience is Key.

The third session of the Overachiever's Discussion Group has been adjourned and the final meeting will occur on Thursday, March 20, 2014 from 5:30pm - 7:30pm.

This week was game day!! The point of this day was to allow students to blow off some steam and have some fun and friendly competition with some of their peers.

We played Apples to Apples and I intended it to be played for only a half an hour but the game continued until the end of the session. For the most part, participants enjoyed themselves and played till they had to leave. 

This week's post is short and sweet but I hope everyone had fun! 

Till next time!!

When the weather takes over.

First session of the Overachiever's Discussion Group has been adjourned and will resume next Thursday, March 6, 2014 from 5:30pm - 6:30pm. 

This week, a PowerPoint was shown introducing the topic of Academic Pressure and Intense studying. With it we discussed the following subtopics:

Meaning of Intense Studying/Academic Pressure

Negative Effects

Reasons for Intense Studying

Influences for studying so intensely

Ways that studying becomes too intense

Effects on different age groups

Knowing that you suffer from Intense Studying/Academic Pressure

During the presentation we broke into conversations covering our own pressures. What's been bothering us and what we've found can help us get past the stress (even if it's something temporary). 

I'm sure the present participants found some sort of help regardless of the small turnout this evening! That's all I really hope for, to be able to help in anyway that I can!

Here's to a better turn out next week!
