Explain the value of the TYKTW experience in relation to your ideas about your post secondary (after high school) plans (education?, training?, travel?, work?).

I am looking to attend business school for post-secondary and I believe that doing an in-depth interview showed me how hard I will have to work to go far in life. I was also taught what it’s like to be in a business and the constant problems that occur. I saw how critical of a thinker you need to be to make it far in business. The TYKTW experience made me realize what I want to do when I get to that stage of my life.
