Teenagers are one of life's greatest mysteries. But working with teenagers on a daily basis, is one of life's greatest joys. During this stage of my students' lives I understand their challenges of balancing what their friends think is "cool" and what their parents say is "success." And often times at this stage, the two aren't always the same. As an entrepreneurship/business education teacher in a title one school located in the heart of Atlanta, I am fortunate to provide my students with valuable skills and experiences that they can begin to apply as soon as they walk out of my classroom. I think this is my advantage in my lesson planning and building. I see their desires to be cool but I also see their desires for knowledge, for keys to success and can easily answer the age old question of, "How will this ever be useful in my life?"
