Welcome 2009 Spring Semester Students!

Change is in the air! At these very auspicious times for our world, you will be taking a class that will allow you to connect your academic knowledge, your uniqueness, and the 'tricks' learned in this class to the world of adolescents that is waiting for you to join in and bring about change... and be changed!

Both Prof. Sara Marques and Prof. Alis Marachelian have created this space for you to track your personal reflections, anecdotes, and 'lessons learned' in the course of the spring semester.

We hope you enjoy this journey towards understanding a bit more that special stage in life called 'adolescence' -now as the adults that you are- as well as to develop and apply your skills as Health Professionals in teaching "health" to youth with the interactive, youth-focused strategies and techniques learned in and outside the classroom.

We have made this blog 'public' and we've seen all the "traffic" it's had since your predecessors started writing their reflections. Feel free to browse but not copy! The wisdom gained through your unique experiences, ideas developed, and challenges you've overcome will be a valuable asset to all those who read it. Please write knowing that the whole world will be reading!

And so, we begin our journey together...

" A candle will never lose its light by lighting another candle"
