Under The Right Circumstances ALL Students Can Thrive

[N'Zinga Shani]

The Role & POWER of Education In Molding Successful Lives.

On Thursday, Dec. 4, 2014, I met with a group of seven students (and parents/guardians) at the television studio in North Haven where OneWorld Progressive Institute produces our community programs.  Unfortunately, two of the scheduled students (one Asian and one Latino; a female and a male) did not show up.  We always strive for a rich diversity on every level.  As is stated in the NHI article, the topic of discussion was: The Role of Education in Molding Successful Lives.

The resulting OneWorld Education Agenda television program is about the Role and the POWER of Education in Molding Successful Lives.  We are grateful to the counselors at Hamden High School, and the parents and educators who cooperated and sent us participants.  Special thanks to Professor Horton at UNH; we wanted to have representation from 9th grade (Avishan Montazer) to college (Justin Exum).  Of course, we thank the students for their interest, willingness and their commitment.

There will be a YouTube segment on our channel within a few days when viewers will hear more specifics from the students.  We guarantee  that you will be surprised by some of what you will hear. Education is the hallmark to success. The full program will air on CTV in Feb. 2015. For those with AT&T Uverse the program will start airing in late January and will air several times weekly.

Thanks to all the students who did such a wonderful job. They represent what is possible when students value education and are committed, and have parents and educators who are engaged, supportive and attentive.  Special thanks to Khadija Hussain, the author of the NHI article.  She is a young woman who will be going places because she is smart, committed and very hardworking.
