Krisha Pillai

To Krisha 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's next?

 

Now that we have finished this first section of the Ivy League Challenge, you understand why your impact project will be so important in future college applications, and you have all the tools you will need to take action and create your impact project. 
I'd like to meet with you and your parents once for a transition call. In this call, we can talk about your experience, and discuss ways that your parents can support you, and ways that I can support you. I am excited for you to progress to the next stage, which is becoming a mentor in the Global Impact Council. 
 
With your parents, schedule your call here.
