Dante, a senior at Dayton (Ohio) Early College Academy, agrees "One of the things they tell you here is to do what you love and love what you do," he says. "Having choices helps make that happen, even if it's just choosing the side you'll take in a classroom debate.“

This statement was made by a student at a school profiled recently for Students at the Center (SatC), an initiative of Jobs for the Future.

activities?  What choices can I make in order to get

the most out of my Liberty experience- academically, socially, and spiritually?
