Today is day 17 out of 31 in my #DisneyYouth #Gifted #Write31Days series.
As I was
getting ready to share all about another great Disney Youth's Y.E.S, a really neat one for kids in grades 6-12 called Creating a Leadership Legacy, happened to catch that tonight’s #gtchat (Reclaiming the Freedom to Learn with Nikhil Goyal) on Twitter was
focusing on the following:
- Reclaiming the Freedom to Learn and what that entails, as well as:
- Interpreting what it means to be a lifelong learner
- Identifying opportunities for gifted college students
- Locating leadership opportunities for gifted students
- Paying for college
- Finding college scholarships / other learning opportunities for gifted students
The
#gtchat topics tie in so well with what Disney Youth has to offer…it was
amazing!
Felt as if their must have either been coincidence or else Divine intervention for me to happen
to catch this particular #gtchat just in time to hear the discussion...literally everything that Disney Youth has to offer gifted students could be tied in with
tonight’s #gtchat!
Was able
to send out a few tweets about #DisneyYouth and how they are such a great fit
for gifted students, but being succinct enough to fit into a 140 characters or less tweet to try
to explain everything that Disney Youth Programs have to offer gifted students is
difficult.
There is just too much to say that goes way beyond 140 characters.

From
everything that I know about Disney Youth Programs, truly believe that they are
an amazing opportunity for all students, especially gifted students.
