Overachieving students and young adults get so used to living up to other people's expectations that they often fail at managing themselves when no one is telling them what to do.  Years of being overburdened supposedly lead to getting into a good college, which is said to lead to a good job.   As parents, we all want our kids to have the best education possible. Unfortunately this often gets lost in translation and becomes more about the ability to say that our child is a straight A student, on the honor role, getting into the best colleges, all while being class President and captain of the football team.  Children on high achievement tracks have so much of their identity placed on their grades that when classes become more difficult, or the workload increases, they often cannot deal and sometimes turn to drugs, especially prescription drugs, to help them cope.

Any registration for out-of-region or private school participants will include a fee of $150.00 per day. This event is free to all Region 10 schools.
