Spotlight Story: Zylie’s Experience
Before the Incubator program, Zylie, a high school student from Kapolei, Hawaii, rarely thought about how she made decisions.
Now, she questions her information sources, notices thinking traps, and feels a stronger sense of agency.
In her own words:
I think Decision Education helped me be aware of the choices I make…helped me make a new goal and have a very clear vision on how I want to grow.
