What were YOUR reasons for settng out on the journey you are traversing? How do we help students connect to THEIR passion when they have NO clue on how to answer the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The answer sometimes lies in the quote “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want?” Let’s take a journey down memory lane…
