I had the pleasure of interviewing 12 students from Ossining High School, White Plains High School and SUNY Purchase College. We spoke about their lives – the things they enjoy doing, what subjects capture their imagination, their hopes for the future and what challenges they are facing. While we talked and I got to know each student as they told their story, I was filled with a deep admiration for each one of them. They shared their open and honest thoughts about their personal experiences, each one having something meaningful to say. It was very inspiring to hear that all the students want to make a positive impact in the world with their studies in college – to help their communities and their families. In these videos, you will be hearing those voices – as well as my original compositions that aim to convey and amplify the ideas and emotions expressed in our conversations. 

I want to express my deep thanks to all these students. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us – your hopes, your dreams and your struggles. I wish you all the very best as you move forward in your lives.

From Doubt To Hope (from Honduras to Brooklyn)
