With graduation day around the corner, Modern Parenthood caught up with Cindy Brown, author of the book “The Girls Guide to Swagger,” to ask her what her top tips would be for new graduates going off into the “real world.”
Brown says she encouraged her students to think about what they would like to be doing in five years.
“Imagine yourself superbly happy,” she says. “Are you designing clothes? Are you in the Peace Corps? Are you working in the inner city?”
Write a bit about that vision. And then figure out what you can do in the next year or so to make steps toward that dream.
