"A New Age" depicts our transition from the modern to the post-modern world, from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. It discusses the newfound struggles of time, stress, and information, complemented with the introduction of new technology and the breaking of societal barriers. It encompasses and compares the experiences of both the young and the old, and how modern science, innovation, and psychology affects the extent to which we are all affected. As we embark on a new journey, what might we witness? Are you excited to witness the changemakers of this generation who are leading us into a promising future?

Aaron never let his limited vision get in the way of his success. Aaron’s grit, determination and effort enabled him to earn a spot on the Tulane team, and the respect of his teammates, coaches and fans. Aaron began playing football in seventh grade and worked extremely hard to get where he is today. His goal is to show others that it doesn’t matter what they are fighting or what their perceived limitations are; anything is achievable with hard work and tuning out the judgment of others.
