60. Helping Students Plan for the Future with Sonia Cacique and Freddy Cruz

College and Career Ready with Coach Sonia

As we bid farewell to the year, join me, Sonia Cacique, for a reflection on the trials and triumphs of college and career readiness. With the insightful Freddy Cruz from the Cruz through HTX Podcast by my side, we unravel the complexities that students, parents, and educators face in forging successful paths. We lay out the importance of dialogue within families, shed light on the impact of stress, and explore ways to solidify the bonds that will sustain us through life’s pivotal transitions. Empowering students with confidence and the right tools is my mission, and this conversation will bring you insight to navigate the journey ahead.
In our engaging discussion, we talk about:

• Dealing with rejection
• The importance of networking with your classmates
• The SAT, as it relates to whether or not it helps to take it when applying to an SAT optional school

We anchor our dialogue in the three cornerstones of the podcast—career exploration, student narratives, and essential resources—while underscoring the crucial role of parents in connecting their children with early career opportunities. As we address the pressing issue of teen mental health, remember that worth is innate and not solely defined by academic or career success.
Your story, your challenges, and your triumphs are unique, and we're here to support you every step of the way—because when we share, we grow stronger together.
