Finals are here – the challenge that you’ve been building to for the last several months. For some this will be just a simpleContinue reading “Be Unconquered, pt. 4”

Be Unconquered, pt. 2https://drmichaelanthony.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#

When we are playing and rolling around on the floor I’ll sometime hold on to her, preventing her from standing up or moving. Her understanding ofContinue reading “STUCK”

Time Management vs. Managing Multiple Priorities

I just got back from the nation’s capital where I spent about 4 days with over 600 SGA leaders from around the WORLD! Literally, I have some new friends from Cairo, Egypt, Illinois, the Virgin Islands, Pennsylvania, Texas, Qatar, and our neighbors up north in Canada. I have been a speaker for the Association ofContinue reading “Time Management vs. Managing Multiple Priorities”
