Hi,
I am looking for current stories about students whose business education has had a life altering impact. For example, an impoverished student who struggles to pay for tuition, excels academically and then starts a successful business. There is ample research indicating that stories are an exceptionally effective method to communicate messages. Video enhances the effectiveness of stories because emotions can be transmitted better through video than text. For example, some time ago there was a report on 60 Minutes about a school in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:city> that provides a rigorous academic experience to underprivileged students and has a life altering effect on them. A link to the above mentioned video is on the school's webpage, which is linked below.

If you watched the video, did you have an emotional reaction to it? If so, I hope you agree that business education should have a similar effect on business students. If you have similar videos about business students, would you be able to share them? I am also interested in written stories so if you have some, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance.
