What can we do about our future leaders who are still in school now? This is our good future if we are looking into helping our students now. What happen today is no one is there for this student to help them out. This means NO MAN IS AVAILABLE TO HELP.
Pls help us with this concern.
Yes, Yes, Our students needs a lot of help in terms of mentoring, commitment, dedication and encouragement but not limited to financial needs. Here recently, I can see that we are down in the abyssal hole, and not oriented in the academic world view.
Us in the islands, our students performance is downhill. No support from parents, community, and the staff as well. Most of us men are talking to ourself about not committed to what we are doing in the schools as well as in the community. There are few students that are trying their very best to tackle only what is on hand now but no vision to see what are the outcomes of what they are actually doing.
The students are very proud of themselves as grown up students but not on what they are accomplishing. So, who and what is the problem here?
Here in Yap Colonia, The students who are taking classes in the schools are looking down at the tip of their toes for they are in despair for their education in the coming days ahead of them when graduated from the schools. This problem in Yap, who will take care of them when in terms of their educational pursuit. This are some very frightening issues the students are having as their nightmares over their idea of schooling….
Can we share some possible suggestion on how to come up with some good plan for our students future educational pursuit plan of action.
Thank you very much for your time.

Thank you so much for bringing this topic forth. If I may, I need to know more about the help you are referring to here. Do they need tutors/mentors? Do they need money? Housing? Please elaborate more on the kind of help our students need.
If it is money we are talking about, then I must say none of us is wealthy enough to provide the amount I suspect they may need. If it is tutoring or mentoring, then I think we can offer them that without any problem(s).
Our students need to know that the road to success in education is not an easy one. It requires dedication, attention, focus, orientation, networking and more! The money is there in the form of scholarships, grants and others. You just have to work hard in your educational endeavor to get these helps.
If anyone needs help in filling out forms, finding resources for secondary education, etc., please do not hesitate to come and ask on this site or visit the Yap State Dept. of Resources and Development @ http://www.yapdevelopments.org for more info.
I think what we all should do in order to help our students who are currently in schools to become our future leaders of “IFA” island is to feed them with the right information to clearly understand the importance of education and also encouraging them to work hard in schools to make sure they achieve their desired goals in life. School teachers and parents of students play a major role in shaping our students to be effective and to be high goal achievers in school. We should all encourage our students to embrace life-supporting values by helping in the process of understanding why values are important in our lives, and how values can be successfully applied while leading others.. We demonstrate and practice the art of giving and receiving meaningful feedback using the SBI model as a valuable leadership tool. The ‘visual explorer’ visioning and planning tool has been very helpful in enabling students envision a better future and identify specific strategies and steps towards achieving this desired future in their schools and communities. In fact, the visual explorer always opens up lively interactive sessions where the students’ individual perceptions, beliefs, stereotypes and mental models around the concept of leadership are brought to surface.
