WONDERFUL TIME OFF.>> GOOD

YOU DESERVE A BREAK
HER RECOGNIZABLE AROUND THE
WORLD BECAUSE OF YOUR SUCCESS
WORKING TOWARD A GOAL BEING A
CHAMPION.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU HAVE FOR
KIDS IN SETTING GOALS AND
STICKING WITH THEM?>> I WOULD
SAY, I KNOW IT CAN BE
OVERWHELMING AT TIMES SETTING
GOALS AND GETTING TO THE BIGGER
PICTURE.
SOME TAKE LONGER THAN THE OTHER
ONES AND FOR ME IT IS JUST YOU
HAVE TO TAKE IT STEP-BY-STEP
AND DAY BY DAY.
I REALLY ENCOURAGE KIDS AND
EVEN PARENTS TO HAVE A GOAL
BOARD.
I HAVE A GO BOARD, I STILL HAVE
A GOAL BOARD TO HELP ME THROUGH
LIFE, THROUGH WEEKS AND DAYS
AND MONTHS.
PUT YOUR OWN STYLE
AND FLAVOR IN
THEM.I PUT PICTURES FOR MY
GRADUATION .
I'M TAKING AN ACTING CLASS AT
THE MOMENT AND REALLY MAKE IT
STICK.
>> I LOVE THAT IDEA.
JUST LITTLE WORDS OF ADVICE TO
YOURSELF ON THOSE LITTLE
POST-IT NOTES.
>> EXACTLY.
ON THE POST-IT SUPER
STICKY
NOTES .
THEY ARE REALLY TRANSFERABLE
BECAUSE YOU CAN STICK THEM ON
YOUR GOAL BOARD WERE ON THE
FRIDGE OR WHEREVER YOU CAN
MENTALLY SEE THEM.
>> EVERY SINGLE DAY.
SO WE ARE COMING UP ON
BACK-TO-SCHOOL , WHAT TIPS DO
YOU HAVE FOR KIDS EMBARKING ON
A BRANDON YOUR?
>> WE HAVE TO START OFF THE
SCHOOL YOU'RE RIGHT.
MY ADVICE WOULD BE DEFINITELY
GET YOUR GOAL BOARD
SET AND EVEN
LEADING UP TO THE BIGGER ROLES
.
I RECOMMEND SUPER STICKY NOTES
BECAUSE THEY ARE SO VIBRANT AND
SO INVITING TO ADD COLOR AND
FLAVOR TO YOUR GOAL BOARD AND
WILL BE OVERWHELMED.
DON'T GET FRUSTRATED.
ALWAYS TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME.
>> IT IS NICE WHEN WE START A
NEW YEAR WE CAN HAVE A CLEAN
SLATE.
EVERYTHING WE ARE STARTING OVER
.
LET'S TALK ABOUT ORGANIZATION
AND TIPS.
I KNOW YOU HAVE TO BE A PRO BY
NOW AT THAT.>> I DO.
STUDYING TIPS IS A BALANCE.
FOR ME I WOULD DO A LOT OF TIME
IN THE GYM AND THEN I WOULD
GIVE BEHIND A SCHOOL SO I MADE
A LIST.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I GOT HOME
FROM JIM WOULD BE LIKE OKAY, I
HAVE TO SQUEEZE OUT ANYTHING I
CAN IN SCHOOL.
THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS
PROCRASTINATE.
JUST GET IT DONE.
>> I THINK LISTS ARE ALWAYS
GOOD.
ESPECIALLY WHEN PARENTS AND
KIDS ARE TRYING TO MANAGE A
BUSY SCHEDULE AND ARE GOING
FROM HERE TO HERE TO HEAR AND
THEN OH WE HAVE HOMEWORK.
SO WRITE IT DOWN, IS THAT YOUR
ADVICE FOR KIDS?
>> I WAS A WRITE IT DOWN.
WHEN YOU SEE IT IT DOES
SOMETHING TO YOUR MIND AND THEN
YOU BELIEVE IT AND EGO AND
ACHIEVE IT.ALSO FLAXEN PADS
ARE GOOD WAY TO KEEP ORGANIZED.
>> ALL RIGHT.
GABBY, IT WAS GREAT TALKING
WITH YOU
ENJOY YOUR RELAXING TIME OFF .
BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE WORKING
PARENTS AND STUDENTS GO FOR
MORE TIPS ON STARTING UP THE
SCHOOL YOU'RE RIGHT?
