Angela Maiers blog post, Broke, Busted, and Disgusted-Can We Spare Students This Fate?, focuses on liberating your genius from the bondage of debt. No one wants to waste time and a lot of money to go to school for something you do not love. That just piles on the debt, especially if you are not finically capable of making money saving decision. Maiers expresses how important it is to teach student's as much as you now know to benefit them in the future.

In her most recent post, Choose2Matter LIVE, she describes the conferences she has been traveling to. She begins with asking her audience, "What matters most to you and why?". There is no right or easy way to answer this to most students. The process of answering this question is the first step in unlocking the unique genius in each student, by focusing them on their values and purpose, and fostering self-awareness. Students have learned that each of them has a unique genius to contribute to the world, teachers have remembered why they chose education as a profession, and everyone who has witnessed one of these experiences has been utterly transformed.
