GRADE 11 CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE 6 WALKTHROUGH
There will be many obstacles that the adolescent will face when
choosing and planning a career path. The bigger the problems
adolescents think they have, the stronger they will become after
overcoming these problems. Jumping the hurdles that are within will
take time, but practicing the virtues will strengthen adolescents for the
hurdles they will have to jump over. There are many different external
obstacles that adolescents will face in the path that they choose to
take. Many of these problems may seem like they are beyond the
adolescents’ control. It is important however, to remind them that in
every situation that occurs, what matters most is how they deal with it.
To jump the hurdles from outside takes a lot of strength in decision
making.
