Start planning for your project as soon as you can! You’ll have to think about project dates, incentives, platforms, etc. Use a planner or Google Calendar to stay organized!]]> 2021-05-25 20:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559205913 tmax38594 https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559213589 If you’re having trouble with your project reach out to your BRACE advisor, Ms, Yvonne, Ms. Carol or one of our BCMA mentors. As a BRACE Cadet you have people who’ve been through the same situations you have. You’re not alone!]]> 2021-05-25 20:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559213589 tmax38594 https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559216970 This doesn’t just apply to BRACE, but also to your personal college application process.]]> 2021-05-25 20:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559216970 tmax38594 https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559222670 You can’t fully teach someone something that you’ve never done. If your project focus is FAFSA make sure you’ve filled out your FAFSA or a FAFSA Demo. If your project focus is scholarships make sure you’re familiar with scholarships.]]> 2021-05-25 20:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559222670 tmax38594 https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559235356 During BRACE trainings you will learn a lot about college and career readiness. Take notes and take advantage of the opportunities that are shared with you!]]> 2021-05-25 20:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559235356 trenycepi https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559552691 Prior to each BRACE meeting create an agenda for the topics that are going to be discussed. Break the ice in the beginning of the meeting by asking mentees about their day, their goals & dreams for their education, and share new resources available.]]> 2021-05-25 23:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559552691 trenycepi https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559575849 Congratulations you've been accepted as BRACE cadets! Next, get into contact with you brace advisors. Try reaching out to fellow cadets in your school to discuss implementation plans & the possibility of forming a BRACE club within your school. This will garner interest from students and increase overall engagement. Additionally, try to create a BRACE social media at your school. If a senior is the first to create an account for the school, I recommend they pass it on to the next brace cadet in order to avoid creating multiple brace accounts for one school. You Got This!]]> 2021-05-25 23:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559575849 trenycepi https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559622134 Students will rely on you to convey information regarding college, scholarship opportunities, and FAFSA. Try your best to post resource on graduation requirement and how-to-videos (how to use common app, request transcript, navigate Naviance, etc). Speak with confidence & courage. No need to worry you'll learned everything you need in the mandatory training! Most importantly, have fun this is a learning process!]]> 2021-05-26 00:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559622134 myaramhi https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559734610 Try to implement more project meetings! These meetings whether through Zoom or Teams allow the students you recruit to see you as a genuine person trying to help them. They make your interactions much more personalized. Even if you can not host meetings, try to implement the use of videos just to see if your engagement increases. Good luck Cohort 5!]]> 2021-05-26 00:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1559734610 ifeanyiuwadia13 https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1560092513 Establish a target audience that is as specific/relevant to your project as possible. Also, make sure to plan in advance when it comes to
 reaching out to said audience. You may find it difficult for students to voluntarily join your project, so you'll have to be as proactive as possible - talk to your friends, teachers/staff, classmates, club members, etc., about spreading information on your behalf! You'll be building a community in the process. ]]> 2021-05-26 03:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1560092513 sthuberthuguette https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1560964575 It's ok to reach out to the BRACE team and mentors for help. You will always need someone to guide you through the process. Never be afraid to ask someone to help you with recruiting students for your project, launching your project and fulfilling it. Be organized and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. BRACE cadets are truly history MAKERS!!!!! Congratulations ❤️ and you will accomplish great things.

With that in mind try to be fluid and less tense when speaking to them and try to form bonds and make your meetings fun and engaging. If you are to serious it will feel like another school lesson for the kids, so loosen up and have fun. YOU GOT THIS!]]> 2021-05-26 16:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1562036454 pascalcristina https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1562928761 Things may get a little challenging along the way. Be sure to keep moving forward to overcome your challenges. Even when things get hard talk to someone, ask for help, take a pause. Whatever helps keep moving forward DO IT. Don’t let anything get in the way of your SUCCESS! Your on the top of world! ]]> 2021-05-26 20:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1562928761 smax8582 https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1563699726 Your project is what you make of it. Choose a topic you are passionate about and create the best project you can. Because there will be bumps in the road, that will attempt to halt your progress. You can’t let that happen. Be intentional and put one foot and front of the other, that is the only way you’ll thrive. Don’t falter when faced with a challenge, crush it and continue on your way. You are a game changer, a history maker, and we all believe in you.]]> 2021-05-27 02:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1563699726 briellebap https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1566553196 When you want people to join your project and help them out, you need to be the one to reach out. You need to be able to go up to people and talk to them, send out emails to people, and advertise for your cause. You need to be able to show that you are serious about what you are doing and that it is important to you. Even when you think no one will care, you need to give them a reason to care about what you are doing. This can apply to anything that you are trying to achieve, not just being a brace cadet.]]> 2021-05-27 20:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1566553196 https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1584533647 2021-06-04 05:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rileycosgrave/prxlnas0fcg56f8r/wish/1584533647
