Are your students getting ready to "take off" and live on their own? Anthony is! In this video, he asks a pilot, his father, and his friends for advice on how to make moving away a successful experience. In the process, viewers will get an overview of things to consider as they make their own plans: budgeting, time management, adjustment issues, support systems, and more. Correlates to all applicable National and State Educational Standards including the NCLB Act.
