Theatre Thursday

Unlocking Potential Through Theater Education

Studying theatre can be a great starting point for careers such as teaching, law, and politics, not to mention broadcasting and performing.

This week I had the opportunity to speak to the… Continue reading Unlocking Potential Through Theater Education

A warrior forgives because… Continue reading A Warrior Continues to Forgive

Adulting 101 – Your High School Grades Matter

Nearly all high school seniors believe that they are going to college and bad grade won't stop them.  Have you listened to the "future plans" of graduates read as they walk across the stage at graduation?  Okay.  A large majority are heading to a community college because open admissions is a "thing."  But are they… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Your High School Grades Matter
