Format
Introduction: Mr. Turner will give a short bio and a quick program overview.
Heart of the program: The Humanity Propulsion Engineer,’ Nathaniel A. Turner, JD, MALS and TED speaker will motivate your students to start planning their lives so that they can make all their hopes and dreams come true. He is ready to share the process used to help his son earn admission into 27 of America’s top universities.
The author prefers interactive conversations so teachers and students will be able to ask those questions most pertinent to them. For example, if your students are middle school students who send topics and questions focusing on what they are doing in regards to academics and extracurricular activities now, that will be the direction of your interaction; if your students are high school students unsure about what they want to do with their lives whether the immediate future includes college or a career, then that will be the direction of your interaction. Your topic preferences and advance questions are due to us no less than five working days before your scheduled interaction.
Conclusion: Mr. Turner will give a quick wrap-up, including reemphasizing points and taking final questions.
