From Convent to College Consultant: Inspiring Rebellion
Elizabeth Dankoski |
TEDxLizardCreek
• October 2017
Why are so many high school students either overwhelmed and stressed or bored and uninvolved? What can we do to help them move away from our old-fashioned, uninspired education model? Ivy League College Consultant Elizabeth Dankoski shares her story of being sent to a convent and then leaving it behind to discover her own path. This unusual experience allowed her to discover two specific questions that we must all ask. These questions propel us out of the old model of obedience and into our unique brilliance so we can truly impact the world. For nearly two decades, Elizabeth Dankoski has helped hundreds of high-achieving students get into the nation's top colleges and universities, including Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Cornell, Yale, UPenn, among many others. She is the founder and CEO of The Dream School Project, a mentoring program that empowers students to get into the school — and life — of their dreams. Her unique approach of helping students discover what lights them up and how they can make an impact on their communities not only earns her students extraordinary acceptance rates but also allows them to thrive in college and beyond.
