99. Being a Guide for our Students with Ekta Sahasi

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the biggest disservices we do to our youth is to expect them to graduate from high school knowing what they’re going to do in their future without giving them any guidance or help in figuring that out.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead, we need to support their passions and interests while encouraging them to put together their own narrative of success.
