Tell Your Story
This week I have been out and about, telling my story. And others have too.
Everyone has a story.
Whether you are from the Piney Woods of East Texas or from Central Texas, your story is important. It is essential, and it can make a difference in someone’s life.
I hope that everyone shares their story - the struggles, the triumphs, the setbacks, the failures and yes the successes. So, tell your story.
I had the opportunity of telling my story at Waco High to a group of students, and it really made my week fulfilling. We started a new program called Business Leadership in Schools where business leaders are telling their stories at Waco High, LaVega High and Rapoport High and offering students advice on future career opportunities.
The program is a “hands-on” approach to sharing stories, being role models, and shaping our youth, and more importantly, the program encourages our students to pursue a higher form of education after graduation. It exposes students to the business community, and it helps them see how their classwork relates to their future opportunities.
I hope that our stories can make a difference in the lives of our students.
Let me know if you are interested in participating in this exciting endeavor or if you have suggestions on our program.
Of course, you get the point: tell your story. It can change the world.
