The mind is infinite, not definite. If High Schools supported/ encouraged right-brain driven students by incorporating art education = LESS CONFUSION & LESS MONEY WASTED

WHAT IF YOU CAN:

1)  Students will feel more ready & excited to pursue a college education;

2)  Academic scores will increase as well as graduation rates;

3)  Money will not be wasted on a college pathway that the student is not prepared for;

Imagine taking the classes you needed for the future YOU wanted?  Imagine teachers and staff saying “Yes, you can!” Instead of “I don’t think so.”

How would that change your future? Your outlook? Your ambition.

I WAS THERE.

What’s plan b?

But I love design

What do I do?

Is it worth it?

Not prepared for college.

Teachers can laugh. Counselors don’t know. Its time to inform.

Spending your every dollar on an education you are not passionate about?

$10,000 for a semester at a school I dropped out of.

That could’ve been $10,000 dollars more towards my current degree/school that I am now struggling to pay.

Its not just YOU. And it’s not just I. Our friends & classmates are going through the same thing.

Its time to act. Speak Up.

College as an exciting, reachable future

Academic Scores Increase as drop out rates decrease.

Preparation & Confidence in College choices = Saving Money

OUR GOAL "h"p://www.flickr.com/photos/30928442@N08/6343274075/  

Nobody learns the same way.

We need art education to make a difference.
