Kristin Borostyan is the mother of two teenage daughters and specializes in transitioning kids and
families for school situations. A former school counselor, Kristin became a professional
organizer and established Straighten Up-Organize to Succeed because she loves to recreate the
feeling you have on the first day of school when everything is organized and the possibilities
are endless. She understands that to be successful you need to have a solid, positive base on
which to stand. Her clients establish that base by being organized in their daily lives. As they
organize themselves they feel good about who they are and are open to more experiences and
able to reach their true potential.
Kristin holds a master’s degree in Educational Counseling and has more than 13 years’ experience
working with more than 6,000 adolescents and their high performance parents achieving
success in a competitive school environment. She possesses the skills and training necessary
to work collaboratively with both children and adults finding answers for their organizational
challenges in a non-judgmental but solution based manner.
Kristin motivates her clients to Straighten Up so they can achieve the lifestyle they deserve.

5. SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD
Forget about the Jones!
They never had that good and every body exaggerates!
You know your child better than anyone:
 You know their gifts, talents, strengths and weaknesses
 Listen and talk with them about what they want out of their college
experience.
 Ask open ended questions that foster discussion.
 Do not project your “dream” onto them- get your posse together for support

6. COLLEGE BOUND
Save Your Sanity!
Be realistic- What might be possible now may not be possible in a few
years.
Discover with your child new opportunities to learn about majors and
colleges.
Work on your time management skills, teach them and project onto them
the importance of managing their time.
Create a method for clear organization of all your college materials
- kids go to college, get jobs, have relationships are very
responsible and become wonderful, productive adults!
