The presentation Lynda
Meeks gave to my high
school students was
fabulous! Her message of
perseverance,
determination, and rising to
life’s challenges was timely,
especially in this tough
economy. Following the
presentation and Q & A,
stayed afterwards to ask
follow-up questions about
careers, travel, and living
one’s dream. Thank you for
delivering such an
inspirational message!
