Ava Wang
To Ava and parents,
I've truly been inspired by you over these last three months.
The intensive part of the Ivy League Challenge has now concluded, and I hope you stay active in our community. Access to the community (including monthly impact project support workshops and masterclasses from me) is included in your tuition for the next 9 months, after which you can choose to stay involved for a low monthly fee.
In an attempt to capture your thoughts at this stage of the journey, I asked you a few questions during week 12. Enjoy revisiting these answers below.
YOUR NEXT STEPS.
12 weeks went by so fast! But that was just the beginning. Be sure to stay on track-- even when life gets crazy. We can do this, together.
Engage in the Community
Most students get knocked off track at some point due to academic and other demands.
Commit to join the workshops and masterclasses as often as possible.
Make it a priority, and let us all help you stay on track.
Join the Global Impact Council
Complete the Starter Stage in your Impact Project Guide so you can be nominated to join the Global Impact Council.
Then request one or more mentors who can guide you through your own meaningful impact.
Become a Mentor
Far too many teens are overwhelmed and frustrated with their unhealthy approach to college prep.
It's not right, and you can help.
1. Share your experience with friends or family who might benefit from joining the Ivy League Challenge.
2. Execute a meaningful impact project and then apply to become a mentor in the Global Impact Council
In your words...
I took some time to grab your answers to the questions I asked in our last class. Here is what you said:
What issue or problem were you facing before you discovered the Ivy League Challenge?
What did the frustration feel like as you tried to solve that problem?
Having finished the first part of the Ivy League Challenge, what would you say is different now?
Take us to the moment when you realized the Ivy League Challenge was actually working to solve your problem.
What does your life look like now that you have been through the first part of the program?
Your progress in the Starter Stage.
1. Your 7 viable impact project ideas
1. Make care packages for children in hospitals (might fit into a business idea?)
2. Teach children with learning disabilities various subjects
3. Teach children who are staying long term in hospitals who aren't doing some sort of online school or have access to a learning program
4. Do research alongside about fatal illnesses amongst children and young adults (special interest in ALS)
5. Do research alongside scientists for ALS cure or other effective ALS meds. (unrealistic one)
6. Help people without healthcare get the help they need outside of a hospital (haven't really worked this one out)
7. Create a fundraising program to get children out of hospitals (money goes towards surgeries those patients need to get out)
8. Go through a children's hospital and interview patients, doctors, nurses, etc. and put it in a blog or podcast that spreads awareness about certain patients or just the hospital environment (???) 9. Kid match up to educator (website) (sponsor to pay teachers)
