What one rising stars graduate is Saying

The meaning of life, or something along those lines, was illuminated to me during the program. The speakers taught me that it's ok to not know exactly what you want to be, and that following your passion will lead you on the right path eventually. The different sessions taught me how to be a more effective person and that will help me for the rest of my life. The program changed my life and allowed me to meet some incredible people of my own age and of the prior generation. Even the organizers of the program taught me things. Though the spotlight is usually on the speakers or the students, the organizers taught us to invest in the next generation. All these lessons are invaluable and have made me a better person.
