TEDxSoleburySchool Talk: The Power and Promise of College Mentorship
The late Randy Pausch was an acclaimed professor at Carnegie Mellon who possessed the confidence to pursue his dreams. As Randy was dying of cancer, he concluded his life’s journey by recording a now 著名的演讲, 最后一课. 他的动力很有感染力. Randy became successful in life because of his proactive nature but also because of an all-important and often undervalued skill: passion.

Passion is a trait that matters in college. Whether you're transitioning from high school or another college, or even if you've headed back to school to explore a new career path, the adjustment period is real and it influences students differently. For those fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pursue higher education, it is a chance to start fresh and change your life. 你会充分利用它吗? 我在纽瓦克长大, New Jersey — not the ideal environment for fostering development, but it did inspire in me a drive and a passion to "escape". My talk is on the power and promise of higher education through my experience as someone who has graduated from a community college, 四年制公立大学, 一所私立大学, and the impact that it can have on students of all demographics.
