College Life Prep Workshop

So you are "in" college, but now what is next? How are you going to get ready for college. In this workshop, we will discuss what you can do now, to prepare for life at college. You will leave this workshop with specific strategies to prepare for college life: academically, logistically, and emotionally.
Proud to be Me! - Young Adult Series This program is designed specifically for young adults to: · Learn to understand themselves better · Get along better with friends and others · Recognize and develop their strengths
Our young adults face many difficult decisions and must deal with all types of people in life. Proud to be Me! will help teens better understand themselves and others and why they get along with some people and feel uncomfortable with others. Rather than deepening separations among young people, this program will help young adults build bridges of mutual understanding and respect. Proud to Be Me! provides participants with tools to use in everyday life; helping to make positive choices and decisions in difficult situations.
Your Best Year Yet, Part I and Part II
Dates and times for these workshops are forthcoming. If you are interested in more information visit our website, email margaret@margaretpundmann.com or call 314.266.1532.

This Week's Topic: Who Are You Influencing?

Dear Friend,
"The Outward person of the messenger does not validate his message; rather the nature of his message validates the messenger."
~Dr. Alistair Begg
In a recent sermon on second Timothy chapter two our pastor ended with the question - Who Are You Influencing? I thought this was a very good question and upon further consideration (beyond my gut reaction of, oh, no one!) realize that each day we interact with many people, but who we influence and how we influence them with our thoughts, words, and actions is quite profound. Let's take the next two weeks and explore these questions.
I'd like you ask you to begin by considering: Who are you influencing? Your first thought may be similar to mine - uh, absolutely no one! But you and I both know that answer really isn't possible! So the question then becomes who?
As a point of departure consider the following areas of your life and people in your life: Home - spouse, boyfriend, children, siblings, parents, etc. Work - colleagues, boss, employees, clients, Social - friends, neighbors
Remember our influence can be seen in both small and large ways - take five minutes today and think about your upcoming week - you will you interact with? And who will you influence?
Make It Happen
The request is simple this week - make a list of who you influence. As you go through your week take note of the people that you influence.
Blessings to you,
Margaret.
