Call to Action!!

April 9, 2008 | by Zach | Permalink

This is a big week for the Pursue the Passion Program.  Starting on Monday the first blogs from students at Gateway Early College High School started posting.  This marks an important change in the type and breadth of content we hope to offer on the PTP website and the audience for whom it’s created.

 

Working to promote a dialogue among students about their future is the most important aspect of our project.  The submissions we are receiving are valuable not because of the revolutionary questions but the sincerity with which they’re asked.  High school graduates understand that they are about to make a big step, however they have been faced with it intensely, for months even years, and the genuine importance of their questions have become diluted overtime in the absence of guidance or quality answers.

 

Our goal is to reaffirm in students the importance of addressing theses questions and create a forum for them to find answers.  The students posting on our site will have gone out and administered their own PTP interviews.  It is my challenge to anyone who reads this, that they help promote this dialogue online. 

 

Take the time to read a student submission and if you have answers, anecdotes’ or advice take the time to post a response.  At the very least let them know someone is reading and hears their concerns.  Questions that continue to go unanswered often cease to be asked.
