All of us experience a wide range of emotions in our lives: anger, sadness,
\nstress, frustration. Usually, that’s a good thing. But sometimes we have
\ndifficulty controlling our emotions-it can feel like our emotions are
\ntaking over, spinning out of control with a mind of their own. To make
\nmatters worse, these overwhelming emotions might be interfering with
\nschool, causing trouble in your relationships and preventing you from
\nliving a happier life. In *Falcon Strong*, we discuss ways to manage these
\nstrong emotions, putting you back in control. It\u2019s time to be *Falcon
\nStrong*!<\/p>\n
*Go M.A.D.* is inspired by our annual M*ake a Difference Week*! We will
\npartake in mini-service projects,<\/p>\n
learn about local charities, discuss topics centered around making a
\ndifference in our lives &<\/p>\n

\ngood about yourself by making a positive change in the world. Are you
\nready to *Go M.A.D.* with us?!<\/p>\n

\nspent with peers, friends or family. everybody can use a few pointers to
\nhelp strengthen the relationships we have or to form new ones. *In good
\ncompany* gives you the opportunity to improve upon your relationship skills in
\nan attempt to get along better with others. Don\u2019t we all want to be *In
\ngood compan**y*? Then come join us as we investigate ways to build
\nhealthier relationships with the people in our lives!<\/p>\n
