School, Sports, Standardized Tests: When Is There Time To Build Life Skills?

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / School, Sports, Standardized Tests: When Is There Time To Build Life Skills?
Published: February 25, 2024 by VPR Producer

As an academic advisor, Ana Homayoun has had many conversations with students, parents, and administrators. With so much competition and so many pressures, what’s always top-of-mind is grades, college admissions and how to stand out from everyone else. But what often falls by the wayside are the fundamentals of how to create a healthy and successful life. We speak with Homayoun about why so many teens (especially in the last 10 years) seem to really struggle post-high school and how parents can better prepare their kids before they hit this breaking point.

  • Ana Homayoun, academic advisor, early career development expert, author, Erasing the Finish Line: The New Blueprint for Success.
