Leadership Vision
I want to live in a world where people are the considered equals, where individuality and eclecticism are cherished. People will see each other as humans embodying different experiences, thoughts, and feelings. And lastly, the ultimate goal for those living in this world is not wealth or fame, but to discover and cultivate their passions so that they can create something for the next generation.
Project Description
Student to Student aspires to change the rigid inequalities in urban education both immediately and systematically. In the short term, Student to Student serves low-income middle school students by providing necessary SHSAT preparation to gain entry into one of NYC’s top-performing specialized high schools. Admission into one of these schools gives low-income students access to a higher quality of education and increased career and academic outcomes after graduation.
