Inspiration

So as you begin your final year of high school I thought our first post would discuss inspiration. We watched Kelsey Juliana in class talk a little about her journey (you can see the rest here: http://billmoyers.com/episode/climate-change-next-generation/ ). Do you have a role model that inspires you? Kelsey's parent's had a big impact on her activism. What do you think was a key factor in their success? Tell us about one person in your life and how they influence you. 

Here's another example of inspiring: http://inhabitat.com/16-year-old-irish-girls-win-google-science-fair-2014-with-world-changing-crop-yield-breakthrough/ - 3, 16 year old girls from Ireland just won the Google Science fair competition!.

Let's begin.

Welcome ladies to your Senior Year, our tech class and your class blog. This is your last year in high school! This is an exciting time for you as you begin your final push up the ladder of success. This is also a good time to set some goals. Challenge yourself to reach a little higher and explore subjects that you wish to rather than be told what subjects are important. So consider these questions for our first blog post and for yourself on this journey (because it is a journey you are on) are:
  1. Why am I here? 
  2. Where do I want to be next year? In 3 years? In 10 years? 
It is your future that you are working towards. What do you think the future has in store for you?
