It's all about "Global Skills"
What skills will you need to work anywhere in the world?
What social media do you use as an emerging adult?
Dear Young Adult.
You want to make an impact on the world.
You're more than a "teenager." You are more than a young person who is defined by your age.
You are more than your number of years.
You are an emerging adult.
What social media do you want to be connected with?
Instagram
Many teens use Instagram and snapchat to "define their level of cool."
Emerging adults use Instagram to create collections.
Facebook and Twitter allow you to spread and recommend what is good, honest, pure, just, lovely, of good report.
Let's think about these things.

What presentations have you made?

What presentations ahave you seen
YouTube
Do you use LIKES and SUBSCRIBES and Comments
to define "the good, honest and just" things and people around you?
Can you become a reliable collector of useful and beautiful things and people?
Can you create and collect posters of quotes? How about making posters about these quotes?
