President of EduSophia, Kyle Jones, was honored to be the featured speaker at the induction ceremony of the Cum Laude Society at Lawrence Academy on May 1, 2007.
In this speech, Mr. Jones notes that "The significant problems we face cannot be solved with the same level of thinking we used to create them," a quote taken from Albert Einstein. Mr. Jones uses this quote and other powerful stories and statements to present the point that in order to move on and solve our problems, we have to get out of the blame game, forgive and move forward. Mr. Jones' speech can be found in its entirety at http://www.lacademy.edu/podium/default.aspx?t=3200 under the Archives, dated 5/4/2007 - "A Prescription for Problem Solving." |
