Summer Plans!

Posted: May 28th, 2009 | Author: Cory Levy | Filed under: Random | Tags: , | Comments

My junior year in high school will come to an end  in eight days!

Here’s a real brief post announcing my summer plans:

During half the month of June, I will be interning at the Founders Fund in San Francisco.  If you live in Silicon Valley and want to meet up please contact me! 

For three weeks in July I will be hanging out in Aspen, Colorado with my family and a couple of friends. 

Finally, in August I will visit Hawaii for the first time.  

Along with those travel plans I will be: hanging out with friends, working on a few business projects, playing a ton of tennis, studying for the SAT, and relaxing.

More on Brad Cohen

Posted: May 3rd, 2009 | Author: Cory Levy | Filed under: Random | Comments

Last week Brad Cohen spoke to a large group of teenagers in Houston to stress the power of one.

Brad is an award-winning teacher and author who has severe Tourette syndrome. During his childhood, he was accused of being a troublemaker in school and was punished by his teachers for the tics and noises caused by his Tourette syndrome.

After graduating from college, Brad decided to “become the teacher that he never had”.   24 elementary schools rejected him from a teaching job.  Can you imagine getting rejected 24 times from  your dream job?  After being told several times your dream could not come true?  After the 25th interview, he was hired at Mountain View Elementary School in Cobb County, Georgia. As a new teacher, he was named Georgia’s First Class Teacher of the Year.
