I started out this morning with Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson at Bullitt Central High School where he defined his Close The Deal program to nearly 300 seniors. Close The Deal is similar to Opporteen (facebook @opporteen) in that it connects high school students to professionals, financial aid opportunities and colleges. The students rotated through tables to associate themselves with the various college professionals and financial advisors who attended. Lt. Gov. Abramson wants to see Close The Deal evolve throughout Kentucky and is working to make that happen. Close The Deal is looking for very similar outcomes as Opporteen, and it's great to have our state's leadership putting energy into it.
Thank you, Jerry, for including me this morning; it was great to see you and Kentucky at work to truly change the lives of young people.
