[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trouble with the argument that these kids who set up do-gooder nonprofits--bogus though they perhaps may be--are the go-getters, is that the parents or expensive hired advisors are actually the drivers and facilitators of these enterprises. The whole teenage nonprofit craze started after the head of admissions at Harvard put out a letter saying they were going to start weighing character heavily in admissions decisions, and the rest of the highly selective places largely follow their lead. [/quote] Believe it or not there are many kids who are motivated by a cause and they don’t have parents that are involved outside of driving or mundane things. Kids who have seen things that affected them and they wanted to do something about it. There’s a whole world out there with some amazing kids. Not everyone is in a suburb with parents controlling every move their kids make. [/quote]
