Checking In
We checked in with former Tutor-Mentors Willow Wilson (left) and Lera Post. Both are optimistic about the future.
Making A Difference
Lera Pool, 17, said Root 2 Rise demonstrated how difficult teaching can be. Even so, the experience convinced her to become an elementary teacher . In her first semester with Root 2 Rise, she learned to set boundaries. During her second semester “I learned how I affect kids, and know I make a difference.” She plans to attend college in North Carolina.
After a long shift at work, she recently received her $750 stipend from Denise Hanson. She will give $500 of it to her mother to cover damage from a traffic mishap, an outcome that didn’t diminish her praise for Root 2 Rise.
Quiet But Determined
Willow Wilson, 19, used her stipend to save for college. After attending Madison college for a year, she will attend the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and major in graphic design. “I’ve always been quiet and reserved,” she said, which prompted her to pay special attention to younger students who were also quiet. “They opened up and came up and asked me questions. It was nice seeing that.'“ Her mother noticed that she was “more mature and organized” from her experience in Root 2 Rise If her schedule had permitted, Wilson said she would eagerly have participated again, “even without the stipend.”

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
