One involves knowing your emotions, how to manage them, and ways to express them constructively.

A related set of skills involves accurately assessing your abilities and interests, building strengths, and making effective use of family, school, and community resources. Finally, it is critical for students to be able to establish and monitor their progress toward achieving academic and personal goals. ||
