In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang(團伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children39。 Music builds selfconfidence, too.

You can be certain that every one of those students had repeatedly heard the value of goal setting. Yet only 3% actually wrote down their goals consistently. Imagine what you can do if you both write down your goals and, then, focus on them consistently, until they are acplished!s Resolution Syndrome? People make resolutions, work hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget them.
