Steve writes about how he has seen students develop this year:
I enjoy it when students explicitly tell me stories about how they are growing up and feel more control and opportunity in their lives. As students finished up their senior projects many students felt proud of their ability to present and answer the judges’ questions. They dressed up, and several students compared it to a job interview. I hope as younger students become seniors the school will develop a culture of senior projects, and the variety and quality of the projects will improve.
Some students found their first jobs this year. One was telling me that he “finally feels like a man,” because he can take care of himself, and no matter where he goes he at least has that much. And once they take care of the basics, maybe they can ground big dreams in reality.
