Henry Ford, an inventor, entrepreneur and innovator, once said, “There isn’t a person anywhere who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can.” This is the mind-set I have towards inner-city youths that I work with and the mind-set that I strive for all to believe in.

Choosing a career is a very important aspect to people’s lives. One goes to college, usually around the age of eighteen, and by the time they leave they are expected to have decided on the career that they will have for the rest of their lives.
