What I learned about all of them was that when you are determined to earn something, don’t give up. Always try your best, no matter what is in your way. You will never have a perfect trip to your goal. There will always be bumps and curves.

I noticed that we are going to have a bunch of famous speakers coming. I learned how to ask better questions. I also learned what a good question is and how to make people say more. I was surprised we’re doing this on the computer and I thought it was only going to be one day. I will ask my parents some good questions. I will use what I learned in interviews to get jobs and into schools.

Today I noticed that Mr. Bowers knew a lot about asking questions and it was interesting. I learned that a good question usually makes people think and is often not a yes or no answer. I was surprised by Elibeth May’s decision to leave her position in the Sierra Club. I will use something I heard today to suceed later in life by asking good questions. Overall, I enjoyed today very much and I am thankful for the opportunity to have learned this.

I noticed the speakers bios ( Elizibeth May, Sara Fletcher and Justin Blanchfield) were very diverse. What surprised me was that Sara Fletcher was at one point a rock star. will
I noticed that a lot of students had very intelligent questions. I also noticed that all the speakers had very interesting bio’s. I had learned that on top of everything Sarah Fletcher is also an amazing mother. I was suprised of how much I didn’t know about these speakers. I will use all the knowledge I have heared on my education in school. I will also use all the things I’ve heared to day to explain things to my friends and family members when they ask about the speakers.
