WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

THERSEA

Yesterday was a transformative morning for my students, and I thank you for being so philanthropic with your time and thoughtful with your responses to our questions. I have never seen students more engaged in an activity

MARTIN

I hope to meet you in person one day to give thanks because I use to be someone whom thought they were nothing and hearing you today changed my life so thank you.

“Plan B sucks” I never knew plan B sucked, so starting today, starting now, no more plan “B.”
