TESTIMONIALS
TEEN PERSPECTIVES
"I thought my passion for art and Star Wars was foolish and wouldn't go anywhere in life. Passion Coaching helped me realize there are a lot of paths my passions can take and which paths I want to take. "
Paul, Grade 9, St. Francis High School
"There will always be difficult obstacles, even when you're pursuing something you're passionate about. It's a matter of whether you're committed enough to push through those obstacles to get to where you dream to be.”

"Passion Coaching has made my son feel important, smart, talented, and accepted for the creative genius he is. I think one of the biggest things my son has learned is that he can take charge of his life by choosing how to be and what to do."
-Mother of 9th Grader, Hillsborough
"I found Passion Coaching to be very useful because it helped me to understand why I love animation and also to get a head start on looking at colleges that offer animation. Oftentimes, students wait until senior or junior year to search for majors that interest them and that is too late because it is not enough time to explore your passion and choose a major you are passionate about."
-9th grader, Menlo Atherton High School
"Passion Coaching helped me realize that I didn't know what I wanted, and how to think about what I want."
-10th Grader, Gunn High School
"Passion Coaching allowed us to tailor programming"
I found my dream job"
"Passion Coaching equips students to live a healthy, fulfilling, purposeful life"
"Passion Coaching goes deeper into your passions than school. It goes into depth about what you want to do in the future and helps more early in life to know what to do so when you go to college you know what you want to study."
-10th Grader, Menlo Atherton High School
“Passion Coaching has given us real insight from the student's perspective on what they enjoy to do. That has enabled us to tailor programming and support students more holistically outside of academics. It has also enabled us to make connections with students who are usually very reserved and quiet and don't say much in class. It has allowed us to focus on the whole student instead of just academics."
-Dr. Nunez, Student Life Director, College Track
"Passion Coaching helps you look into a specific path or career or passion rather than being broad. It really helps you understand yourself and teaches the opportunities available compared to meeting with an advisor at school and overlooking the smaller details."
-10th grader, Eastside High School
"Passion Coaching doesn't just help your students now, it helps your students later on. It equips them with the knowledge, skills, and resources that are needed in order to live a healthy, fulfilling, purposeful life."
-Christian Sbragia, Founder, CoolineKids
"Passion Coaching helped me discover what I want to do in the future. I originally just wanted to do art. I didn't have any goals. I didn't know what kind of jobs I wanted to do or what kinds of art I wanted to do. Passion Coaching helped me figure out that I like to do concept art, which helped me figure out what kind of colleges I want to go to, what type of people I want to hang out with, and what type of jobs I want."
-9th Grader, St. Francis High School
