Our Tomorrows” Idea: Which implies that “I am Inspiring, Assisting, and Motivating our Tomorrows! “Inspiring” that inner self, that inner beauty, and that self worth which we all have within.  “Assisting” in teen pregnancy prevention, life skills, PSAT/SAT prep, career assessments, preparing for transition from middle school to high school from high school into college or workplace, counseling, and other peer group sessions. “Motivating” to believe it, achieve it, and set no limits.
