"I started law school wanting to do something good in the world and one of the things I didn't understand about law school was that it really pushes students in a very different direction to get the biggest, fanciest corporate jobs possible."

"we struggle through with the students. It's not easy. It's a huge amount of work for them."

"it's really a time where the students are preparing for, they're applying for college in the fall and they're preparing for college in the spring."

"One thing that we tell the students is the people who read college applications spend so little time, especially when we're talking about public schools, like the UCs, they spend approximately eight minutes on an application."

"It's so much fun to see what their lives are and what they got from Minds Matter."

"procrastination just causes a huge amount of stress."

"sometimes they get a little shot down when they get to college 'cause they've been stars in their high schools."

"People who believe that life is going to be good for them and for others who are really optimistic, individuals who are excited about life."

"It's a huge amount of a time commitment. Um, and I am fortunately because I'm retired now, I'm in a situation where I can do it and I love doing it."

"The best way to enter this organization is to be a mentor."

"To find something you love, to find something that makes it exciting to wake up every morning to talk about with your friends and with your family."

"I learned so much and I think grew so much."

"I was excited by the challenge and I think I'm very much who I am today because I had that challenge and felt committed to make a change."
