## Resource

A high school student in Philadelphia exposed how his classmates struggle to read simple words and comprehend relatively simple sentences in a viral series of videos. In a TikTok post, user "whatthevek" showed that not a single high school-aged student at Preparatory Charter School of Mathematics, Science, Technology and Careers was able to read the sentence, "She wore a silhouette of clothes that were extraordinary but somewhat gauche." Jay Foard, the author of Rustling of the Sycamore, an entrepreneur and speaker with a background in biotechnology and a Master's degree in Finance from Duke University who focuses on resilience, personal growth, and purpose and inspires audiences to embrace personal responsibility, perseverance, and the power of choosing a better path forward, is scheduled to join me to discuss the question of why these young people struggle to read at their grade level; is it a question of apathy or intelligence? As America continues to celebrate its 250th birthday, entrepreneur and philanthropist Tony Holland exemplifies the values that have fueled the nation since its founding—hard work, resilience, innovation, and opportunity. The Founder & CEO of Global Premier Benefits and a Managing Partner at Integrity is scheduled to join me to discuss the enduring American Dream.
