World of Possibilities

This week has been a busy one for lots of us, especially those in academia. This is a nice, true story about a person who followed their "heart" and chose the unconventional path. He is not long out of high school, long decided not to attend college, half way across the world in (several parts of) Asia, and expanding the groundwork for a non-profit organization that he has started called the "World of Possibilities." I can't tell you how much I respect Wolfe Price for what he has done, is doing, and will continue to do...

Here's a little about what World of Possibilities will do

World of Possibilities empowers less fortunate teens to choose compassion over crime by volunteering globally to change the world and change themselves.

World of Possibilities will send Bay Area teens aged 14 to 20 overseas to volunteer in orphanages and teach English in countries with famine and AIDS. The non-profit will help neglected teens with hardships; teens with deadbeat Dads, teens on drugs who want to stop, promiscuous teens, and any young adult who has fallen by the wayside to spread their wings and fly to the tune of their own heartbeat. The programs take young adults out of a bad situation to become confident and strong seeing themselves be effective in the world by helping others and being part of the solution and not part of the problem.
