My Journey
Zoe’s vodcast begins by asking, “What
does a leader look like?” and concludes by saying, “I think anyone
can be a leader, even the people you know in everyday life. We are all leaders
and you are too. You don’t have to be famous or have an interesting
name.”
The
Places You’ll Go
Can we hop on top of the Journey with Dr. Seuss?
Absolutely. Reilly, Maggie and Meghan connected popular works from the famed
childhood author to the lessons on leadership that they learned while hiking
and biking along this Hallowed Ground.
Remember the Names
The Journey is 180 miles of history made by
people and events.
It’s
A Wrap
There is something for everyone on the Journey.
This young man was inspired by a Weird Al concert to put the historical lessons
learned on the Journey to music. Chase’s work is brief, but packed
with historical relevance.
Digging Through History
Meredith Bean McMath, film director and screenplay
writer asked these ladies what they did best. Abby, Kayleigh, Kamilla and
Lizzie replied with a simple response, “The worm.” And that gave
birth to this extraordinary vodcast that showcases how these young women
dug deep into the roots of the Journey’s history for lessons that they
could apply to their world today.
Out of the Park
John Mark loves baseball and therefore it was
easy to draw a connection between contemporary leaders who travel around
the diamond and those who ran along the Route 15 corridor.
A Ripple In Time
We want our vodcast on American leaders to
be funny. Funny? Writing the Constitution, drafting foreign policy
for a new nation and battling slavery are not usually “funny” topics,
but thanks to inspiration by Sports Illustrated writer, Rick Reilly,
Sam and Andrew and Sam were able to place a humorous twist on leadership
and how it impacts future generations.
History’s
Ink
Emily loves to sing. Clairborne loves to write.
Leah loves to act and Claire loves music. What happens when these skills
and passions come together? A beautiful story showcasing the contributions
of men and women along the Journey and how we can learn from their work.
Told and Untold Stories
Justin, Dominic and Stephen began by asking
the NPS Ranger at Gettysburg a question. “Are the only leaders the ones
we find in our history books?” The Ranger replied, “No. And they are not
only the ones that you see in the movies either.” This response prompted
these gentlemen to dig deeper and to ask more questions while visiting with
historical experts in order to uncover the stories of the common man who
played significant leadership roles. They do not want their stories to be
lost.
