What will you say when you hear: “I’m Bored!” or “There’s Nothing to Do Here!”

III. Transitional Conversations With your/OUR Student Questions for the Car Ride… 1. What are you excited about? 2. What do you see yourself getting involved with? 3. What will you do in your downtime? 4. What was the best thing about today?

SO… - Grow your relationship with your/OUR Student. Encourage involvement. Keep them excited/eager! Start thinking about how this transition will change your relationship. Show your student you both support them & have confidence in them. The relationship you have with your student also connects to the relationship you and your student have with LHU. Let’s work together and make it memorable!
