Playing the game of life

Playing the game of life

Adulting is hard.

Writing a check, tying a tie – even executing a confident, professional handshake – are all learned skills. And those are just the relatively little things in life. The big things – like changing a career mid-stream, a serious, sudden illness or a car breakdown and repair – can be downright paralyzing, even for experienced adults.

Seizing Every Opportunity

One Stone learner Carissa V. on taking the leap into real-world problems to create real change.

When I first visited One Stone’s website, it seemed too good to be true.

I saw students working in professional environments, I read stories from students about the opportunities they had to guide their learning, and I saw pictures of the board of directors that was comprised of students like me. At One Stone, students were actually making an impact. They were designing their futures and following their passions. I was so excited, I applied immediately.
