Billy's Blog: From the Head of School
|
|
“There is no decision that we can make that doesn't come with some sort of balance or sacrifice.” Simon Sinek
For many years, I have talked with seniors as they went through the college decision-making process. Sometimes, I just sit and listen, say nothing, and eventually the students announce their decision as they verbalize the differences among their choices.
