At all of the schools I have visited, these students are completely engaged and looking to us for inspiration.
Founders4Schools said this of the event:
instead of burdening students with the uncertainty of what the next chapter of their education holds, the speakers inspired the students with their insight into the exciting opportunities awaiting them.
