Begin With the End In Mind!

As The Arc of Frederick County partners with each person we serve, Support Coordinators serve as an ally to assist each person with developing an individual plan.  As young adults transition from school to the adult word, planning is particularly important.  The Arc wants people we serve to be the driver’s seat, directing what comes next in their lives.  This week at LEAP at FCC, Erick Williams incorporated lessons from The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens into his instruction.  Students learned that planning a life can be similar to building a house.  You need to start with a vision and blue prints so you know where you are going.  You need to share your ideas with others so they can work with you to design your goals.  You need to start with a strong foundation so your life is supported by people who want you to achieve your goals.  Like blue prints to a house or a map to a vacation destination, begin with the end in mind so you know where you are going.
