Description: This program offers participants a chance to dive into decision-making, goal-setting, and planning for high school and beyond, all from the comfort of home. Attendees will participate in activities that challenge them to think about who they are, what they want, and how to take meaningful steps toward those goals. Among the many activities planned, participants will take part in mock virtual lectures to get a feel for what academic life might look like in the years ahead. Guest speakers who are blind or have low vision will also join us to share their educational and career journeys, offering personal stories and meaningful lessons in resilience, purpose, and the importance of thoughtful decision-making.
