Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that high school aged people need to become self-aware enough to be able to know and tell their own story. He suggests that if people are able to know and tell their story, they are freed from the stories that others tell about them and then they can dream about how their story will unfold.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that high school aged people should know their own story. They should know and be able to tell the story of how they became and why they are the persons that they are now.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that young people, who are now eligible to be vaccinated, get vaccinated. He also thinks that this virus, as a roadblock on their chosen pathway into their future life, has obscured many other roadblocks that they will encounter. Having a big dream that they want to achieve will help.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that the tension that is sometimes created between high school students and their parents is a good thing. The tension is an indication that the student has become capable enough to choose his or her own pathway into a future life; the life of which their dream is made.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that our high school students need to take stock of the opportunity that they have to achieve their dreams in contrast to the young people waiting at our southern border for an opportunity to achieve theirs.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that high school aged people have true grit; they can find a  way to achieve goals despite the tremendous block, to their chosen pathway, that this virus represents. He suggests that dreaming big, about acquiring things, becomes the blueprint for dreaming big about who they will become and what they will do with their life.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that young people must take some time to form their own opinions about the most recent mass shootings. He suggests that the shooters may have had dreams that they believed to be unachievable. He suggests that young people should dream big dreams and get as much help as they can as they strive to achieve those dreams.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that young people take time to reflect upon the life that they remember living before being at war with this virus. They should not let this virus beat them down, but, instead they need to dream big about their future life and follow an adjusted pathway, around this virus, to achieve their big dream.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that if high school students hunger for life as they once knew it, they should let that dream go and form a new one. When dreams become as intense as hunger, then perhaps the dream of a future life will be motivation for action to be taken in the present one.

Joe-Brown’s informed opinion is that high school students might reflect upon what their motivation is to continue following a pathway through their life-arc. Are they animated by the external motivation of wanting and needing to please their parents or are they motivated by a dream that they want and need to achieve?
