Sara Flecther was really cool because she was in a rock band and even though it didn’t work she never would give up and she ended up going back to school to start a PHD.

I noticed that many things stood out from each speaker .
Sabrina 
Things stood out like Elizabeth May being an author a lawyer and a member of politics, Sarah Fletcher who was in a band and Justin Blanchfield who has been a Mechanical Engineer for ten years. I think my favorite story was from Sarah Fletcher because her story about being stuck in middle of nowhere with her band members made me very curious and excited to know what happened next. Sarah Fletcher spoke out to me the most because she learned to overcome problems and be the best she could be. I feel like I should learn to overcome things like Sarah did because I feel like I be much better at things if learned to overcome them. Overall I feel like this was an amazing learning experience that will help me throughout my life.
The speaker that most stood out to me was Sarah Fletcher because she has an amazing rockstar backround and she is working for a PHD and thats somethhing im considering when i grow up. I learned that by asking questions you can learn alout more of the person then by the news or a news parper artical. From what i heard today i will use never give up and the littlest thing can be a big thing for change. The things that stood out for me in this amazing two day expierence is alout about asking questions and if i was doing a job interveiw to ask questions to the person and that can tell to see if they really need the job. I think Sarah does a fantastic life ahead of her and she is going to do great at her job i know that she really inspired me. one big thing that stood out for me is to never give up and if you belive in a change get a group of people and try to make it happen.

I noticed that allot of the questions people asked were very interesting and each speaker each had a different story of their own. I learned that it is important to ask a good question for better information to come out of people. I liked Sarah’s story because at one point she was a rock star and now she is a awesome mother. Justin spoke out most to me and tot me to never give up on something. I will use these things to communicate better with friends, family and others.
