When I was young, I was not a great student. School was hard for me. Today, looking back at how I handled that challenge, the solution seems obvious. You change your approach and do things differently. But nearly 50 years ago, when I decided to found a school, that kind of thinking was not the norm. I came up with an idea for a school that I named Career Action. Back then, I saw a lot of young people who hadn’t done well in high school.
