B
C
Unfortunately,
however,
some
students
simply
can't
afford
the
cost
of
the
ap
exam
until
now.
My
primary
purpose
for
being
here
is
to
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
including
funds
in
the
2021
budget
for
ap
exams,
ensuring
that
every
interested
student
has
the
opportunity
to
take
one
or
more
exams
the
fun
that
financial
support
will
be
available
to
students.
C
As
I
mentioned,
I've
taken
a
number
of
ap
courses
and
although
these
classes
are
hard,
I
chose
to
take
them
and
am
willing
to
do
the
extra
work,
because
I
want
to
prepare
myself
as
well
as
possible
for
college
and
I'm
glad
I'm
doing
it
well.
Ap
isn't
easy.
I've
learned
a
lot
about
managing
my
time
how
to
juggle
homework,
reading
and
projects
with
extracurriculars
and
I'm
better
at
compiling
and
relaying
my
thoughts,
both
verbally
and
written,
and
I've
improved
my
public
speaking
skills.
C
C
C
This
could
have
helped
if
I
had
been
taking
ap
classes.
At
the
same
time,
my
older
brother
was-
and
I
have
three
younger
brothers
who
will
all
be
in
high
school
and
eligible
to
take
ap
classes.
At
the
same
time,
this
state's
support
removes
the
financial
barriers
that
may
keep
students
from
taking
ap
and
earning
the
credit
that
makes
college
more
affordable
funding
to
continue
ap
exam
support
in
2022-2024
was
included
in
the
governor's
proposed
budget
and
is
in
your
house,
passed
budget
house
bill
1..
C
While
the
current
funding
goes
a
long
way
in
providing
access
to
students,
should
the
state
wish
to
cover
the
entire
fee
so
that
standard
fee
students
don't
have
to
pay
anything
out
of
pocket,
it's
estimated
that
another
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
needed
as
the
budget
progresses.
We
urge
the
senate
to
keep
the
funding
intact
and
request
that
the
house-
and
this
committee
in
particular,
continue
to
advocate
for
its
inclusion
in
the
final
2022-2024
budget.
C
A
B
D
My
name
is
carly
o'neill
good
afternoon,
chairman
riley
and
members
of
the
budget
review
subcommittee
on
primary
and
secondary
education
and
workforce
development.
My
name
is
carly
o'neill
and
I'm
a
senior
at
morgan
county
high
school.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
express
my
gratitude
for
the
state
support
for
advanced
placement,
as
well
as
to
share
why
I
think
the
ap
program
matters.
D
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
providing
assistance
for
the
first
time
this
year
to
all
public
students
to
pay
for
ap
exams.
This
initiative
initiative
will
help
make
ap
exams
affordable
to
many
students,
including
myself
as
a
senior.
I
hope
the
funding
continues
in
the
future
years
and
urge
your
ongoing
support
for
the
students
coming
behind
me.
D
Secondly,
I
would
like
to
share
why
I
choose
to
take
ap
classes.
Why
not
take
a
easier
courses
after
high
school,
I
plan
to
attend
college
and
study,
mathematics
and
science
in
order
to
pursue
a
career
in
academia.
While
I'm
excited
about
what's
to
come,
I
realize
that
everything
today
is
competitive.
Academics,
scholarships
extracurricular
activities
and
I
know
I
need
to
prepare
myself
as
well
as
possible
for
school
and
for
work.
D
The
academic
rigor
that
is
required
of
ap
classes
has
prepared
me
for
the
classes
that
I
will
take
in
college
and
has
allowed
me
to
develop
essential
skills
that
I
will
need
in
my
future
endeavors
because
of
advanced
placement
courses.
My
study
habits,
time
management
and
presentation
skills
have
evolved
immensely.
I
know
these
attributes
will
be
critical
for
my
success
in
the
future.
D
Additionally,
I
have
chosen
to
independently
study
ap
physics,
c
mechanics
and
with
the
help
of
advanced
kentucky
and
louis
aquinpora,
at
the
bering
academy
of
virtual
and
expanded
learning,
I
am
remotely
taking
ap
chemistry,
assuming
that
I
make
successful
scores
on
my
upcoming
exams.
I'll
earn
approximately
47
college
credit
hours
and
save
approximately
24
thousand
dollars.
D
D
D
Depending
on
how
I
score
on
the
exams
I
intend
to
take
this
year,
I
have
the
opportunity
to
earn
up
to
twenty.
Eight
hundred
dollars
has
been
a
major
incentive
for
me,
as
well
as
other
eligible
students
to
take
ap
courses
and
has
helped
make
college
affordable
for
me
and
my
family,
as
well
as
many
other
families
across
the
commonwealth.
D
We
humbly
request
that
the
funding
for
ap
ap
exams,
which
is
already
in
house
bill,
1,
remain
in
the
final
2022-2024
budget
and
ask
that
this
committee
continues
to
advocate
for
us
as
budget
discussions
progress,
it
is
important
that
the
students
of
the
commonwealth
have
access
to
these
courses
and
the
benefits
that
come
with
them.
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
for
your
commitment
to
kentucky
students.
B
E
E
And
can
you
speak
on
the
pressures
of
all
these
ap
tests,
while
you're
in
high
school
and
how
you
know
how
that
might
impact,
how
how
you
feel
mental
health-wise
and
then?
Secondly,
you
know
I'm
all
for
courses
with
really
high
academic
rigor
if
we
had
the
coursework
without
them
being
called
ap
classes.
What
do
you
think
would
be
would
happen.
D
So
it's
actually
relieved
a
lot
of
my
stress,
knowing
that
I'm
going
to
be
going
into
college
with
so
many
credit
hours
has
also
been
a
big
burden
off
of
me
and
my
family,
I'm
I'm
a
big
advocate
for
this
program.
That's
why
I've
chosen
to
take
classes
that
my
school
doesn't
even
offer,
and
I
think
that
it
actually
reduces
the
stress
people
who
end
up
getting
passing
scores
on
the
test,
knowing
that
they
won't
have
to
take
that
in
college,
where
they
would
also
have
to
take
exams
and
stuff.
C
Taking
ap
classes
has
like
I
struggle
with
anxiety
anyway,
so
taking
ap
exams
really
adds
on
to
that,
but
the
r,
the
relief
of
getting
college
credit
hours
does
help.
But
I
think,
if
you're
taking
a
lot
of
ap
classes,
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
you
have
a
lot
of
coping
skills
to
deal
with
that
stress,
because
it's
a
lot
of
work
and
it's
a
lot
of
pressure
to
pass
this
one
exam
at
the
end
of
the
year.
C
That
determines,
if
you
did
well
enough
in
the
whole
year
and
to
answer
the
second
part
of
your
question.
I
feel
like,
if
classes
offered
the
academic
rigor
that
ap
classes
have
without
the
name
ap
a
lot
of,
I
think
a
lot
more
people
would
take
them
but
end
up,
dropping
them
when
they
could,
because
they
don't
really.
I
feel,
like
you,
get
a
lot
of
validation
from
being
in
an
ap
class
and
without
like
that
ap
title.
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
that
goes
away.
E
And
it's
I
mean
just
very
quickly,
and
so
I'm
speaking
as
tina
the
mother
tina,
the
mother
wants
her
daughter
to
have
been
a
high
schooler
when
she
was
in
high
school
and
to
do
college
when
she's
in
college,
and
so
I
think
I
completely
appreciate
it.
I
was
a
student
who
didn't
have
money,
we
didn't
have
ap
courses
or
the
same
thing.
E
I
think
we
need
to
be
really
careful
from
this
view,
as
the
general
assembly
to
just
really
keep
in
mind
other
important
things
that
high
school
students
need
to
do
to
grow
and
develop
without
so
many
pressures,
even
if
it
alleviates
pressures
for
finances
for
college.
So
I'm
not
saying
I'm
against
ap
testing.
I'm
just
saying
we
need
to
keep
these
other
pieces
in
mind,
but
thank
you
both
for
presenting.
B
And
I'll
mention
a
couple
of
things
in
regard
to
that.
That's
why
we
have
the
ap
group
here
today
and
then
we
also
have
the
governor
scholar
for
entrepreneurship,
because
I
think
what
we
need
to
look
at
is
a
broad-based
education,
where
people
can
can
kind
of
work
into
what
what
they're
good
at
I
do.
I
do
think
this
about
ap
exams
and
the
pressure
out.
B
I
had
a
son
who
took
ap
exams
and
and
such
I,
I
do
think
that
they
have
the
potential
to
help
you,
when
you
have
to
take
the
lsat,
the
dat,
the
mcat
and
those
type
of
tests
that
have
even
more
pressure,
because
they
not
they
only
determine
where
you're
going
to
go
to
college.
They
determine
what
your
career
is
going
to
be.
B
So,
I
think,
sometimes
those
tests,
even
though
that
you
may
suffer
from
anxiety
and
they
may
be
difficult
and
challenging,
because
they
are
well
you're
going
to
hit
something-
that's
even
more
challenging
if
you
end
up
taking
those
tests
at
a
later
time
at
the
end
of
college.
So
it's
a
it's
a
it's,
a
balance
that
we
have
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
deal
with,
but,
but
I
know,
ap
classes
are
rigorous.
I
was
a
high
school
principal
representative.
Banno
was
a
high
school
principal.
B
Anybody
else
have
a
question
for
the
ap
group.
One
thing
I
want
to
do
before
we
finish:
I
want
to
acknowledge
stacy
bassett,
who
is
here
and
anthony
meyers,
who
is
here
and
they
both
work
with
college
boards.
I
had
the
good
pleasure
of
working
with
anthony
for
a
while.
He
taught
at
the
school
that
I
worked
at
and
was
an
excellent
teacher.
B
F
C
Is
my
next
big
focus
and
like
the
state
exams
that
the
whole
school
takes
at
the
end
of
the
year
to
me,
they
they're
not
really
a
priority,
because
since
elementary
school
I've
been
scoring
like
proficient
distinguished
on
those
kind
of
tests,
and
they
just
they
just
don't
really
bother
me
anymore.
If
that
makes
sense,
so
I'm
not
really
worried
about
them
too
much,
as
as
far
as
the
act
and
like
ap
exams
go.
D
I'm
assuming
you're
talking
about
like
k-prep
and
like
state-based
yeah.
I
also
don't
feel
as
much
pressures
when
it
comes
to
dim,
because
I
know
that
that
typically
will
not
affect
how
I
do
in
my
future
near
as
much
as
passing
an
ap
test
or
an
act
getting
a
high
score
on
the
ict.
However,
I
feel
like
me,
being
in
ap
classes
and
having
that
rigor
and
learning
all
those
things
has
helped
me
perform
higher
on
those
to
where
I
don't
really.
You
know,
compared
to
an
ap
test.
B
D
So
I
know
we're
both
from
eastern
kentucky.
Obviously,
resources
out
there
are
like
lower
and
we
don't
get
as
much
prep
and
stuff
as
I've
learned
that
some
other
students
across
the
commonwealth
get.
However,
I
think
the
kids
who
take
ap
classes
try
to
do
well
on
that
are
typically
the
ones
who
are
more
concerned
with
their
act
score.
B
C
To
be
completely
honest,
a
lot
of
the
student
like
the
majority
of
the
student
body,
I
know
really
don't
care
about
k-prep
testing
at
the
end
of
the
year
like,
and
I
know
that's
kind
of
harsh,
but
it's
the
truth.
A
lot
of
people
just
kind
of
see
it
as
it
like
reflects
back
on
the
teachers
and
not
real,
not
really
them
they're
a
little
bit
selfish
about
it.
You
know,
like
it's,
not
really
a
main
concern
of
them.
B
So
so
you
guys
kind
of
gave
the
answer.
I
expected
you
to
give
and
as
a
person
who
worked
in
high
schools
for
a
number
of
years,
if
you
want
high
school
students
to
try
on
a
standardized
test,
it
has
to
be,
they
have
to
believe
it's
relevant
for
them
if
it,
if
they
do
not
see
in
any
way
shape
or
form,
that's
relevant.
They
do
not
give
maximum
performance,
and
you
gave
the
answer
that
I
expected
you
to
give.
B
Students
for
the
better
part,
try
more
in
the
ap
and
then
they
do
the
act,
which
is
what
the
answer
you
give.
But
when
you
give
the
k
prep,
there
are
a
lot
of
students
that
don't
give
maximum
effort
and
it
takes
everything
in
the
world
as
an
administrator
to
convince
them
that
it's
important
for
them.
So
I
sometimes
worry
about
the
relevancy
of
those
tests.
B
If
we're
not
going
to
get
students
to
try
on
them
and
I'm
telling
you
it's
hard
and
I
don't
represent,
bannon
may
have
had
the
same
experience
I
had
so.
Thank
you
guys.
That
was
very
good
and
we
appreciate
your
testimony.
Good
luck
in
college,
it's
a
great
experience
and
we
wish
you
guys
the
best
good
luck
on
your
ap
exams
too.
G
G
Awesome
I'll
go
ahead
and
get
started
chairman
riley
and
committee.
Thank
you
so
much
for
hosting
us
today
and
giving
you
this
opportunity
to
share
about.
Probably
my
favorite
thing
to
talk
about
and
that's
the
governor's
school
for
entrepreneurs
started
in
2013.
Gse
was
a
bold
initiative
by
leaders
in
this
great
state
who
recognized
a
growing
need
for
new
businesses
and
entrepreneurially
minded
citizens.
G
We
are
here
today
to
share
gsu's
story
and
showcase
our
very
real,
very
tangible
impact,
and,
more
so,
the
roi
on
the
investment
that
you've
made
in
us.
As
you
likely
know,
we
bring
9th
10th
and
11th
grade
teens
from
across
the
state
into
a
three-week
residential
program.
We
immerse
them
in
a
very
creative
space
and
arm
them
with
the
tools
that
they
need
to
unleash
their
entrepreneurial
spirit,
spirits
for
the
betterment
of
our
state.
G
G
We
teach
them
to
see
the
world
differently,
to
look
for
problems,
to
welcome
them
and
to
create
viable
solutions
for
themselves
and
the
communities
in
which
they
live
throughout
their
time
with
us.
We
also
welcome
kentucky's,
most
successful
entrepreneurs
to
our
host
campus,
currently
northern
kentucky
university.
G
G
During
the
program
teams
of
high
school
students
develop
a
fully
fledged
business
model,
they
design
a
prototype,
and
our
program
culminates
with
them
getting
up
on
stage.
It's
called
our
demo
day
and
they
pitch
their
startup
to
a
very
large
audience,
usually
around
three
or
four
hundred
folks
and
a
panel
of
judges.
G
We
visit
kentucky's
most
innovative
startups
during
the
summer.
We
take
them
behind
the
scenes,
they're
able
to
ask
very
candid
questions
and
truly
get
to
know
the
individuals
behind
the
logos,
but
there's
a
reason
why
we
refer
to
gse
as
the
most
entrepreneurial
gift
that
we
can
give
them
in
their
lifetime
for
our
participants.
Their
journey
with
us
really
starts
at
the
end
of
the
three-week
experience.
G
We
continue
to
provide
mentorship
internship
and
even
employment
opportunities
through
a
vast
statewide
network
of
support
and
partnership.
Our
alums
are
working
for
esteemed
businesses,
like
el
toro
in
louisville,
they're
interning
at
awesome,
inc
in
lexington
or
they're,
starting
their
own
businesses
in
rural
communities
like
cam
lasley
who's.
Here
with
us
today,
and
thanks
to
our
many
collegiate
partners.
I
know
a
lot
of
parents
appreciate
this
one.
We
are
able
to
provide
right
around
five
million
dollars
in
scholarship
opportunities
annually
to
those
that
we

Looking
specifically
at
2013
to
2020,
we
know
that
70
percent
of
all
gse
alums
are
pursuing
stem
at
the
post-secondary
level.
It's
likely
because
gse
focuses
on
business
models
that
are
tech,
driven
and
digital.
We
know
that
because
we
build
our
teams
around
stem
skill
sets.
Most
of
the
business
teams
are
working
to
design
mobile,
apps
software
products
or
physical
products
that
need
to
be
engineered,
so
it
truly
makes
sense
that
we
are
seeing
this
data
75
75
percent
of
gse
alums,
attended
or
are
attending
a
post-secondary
institution
in
kentucky.
G
We
attribute
this
to
our
great
partnerships
all
throughout
the
state
and
because
we
are
not
shy
about
showcasing
the
opportunities
that
exist
right
here
in
kentucky
one
in
two
gse
alums
continue
to
pursue
entrepreneurship,
education
at
the
post-secondary
level
that
looks
like
either
a
major
or
a
minor
they're
part
of
a
boot
camp
or
an
accelerator
or
perhaps
they're
working
toward
a
certificate
in
that
field,
and
since
2013
our
alums
have
launched
over
30
small
businesses
for
this
state.
Keep
in
mind
that
our
oldest
alums
are
just
now
graduating
college
and
starting
their
careers.
G
We
are
the
youngest
governor
school
and
I
am
certainly
very
biased,
but
I
think
that
we
have
a
lot
to
offer
and
we
continue
to
prove
our
success
as
we
look
to
this
summer,
we'll
serve
144
teams.
This
will
be
our
largest
summer
to
date,
and
you
can
imagine
that
the
demand
for
gsc
greatly
exceeds
excuse
me
our
capacity
to
serve.
G
We
do
have
a
budget
request
in
this
session.
It
would
allow
us
to
expand
to
a
third
summer
session
and
to
also
launch
our
alumni
initiative.
Our
alumni
initiative
is
focused
on
ensuring
that
our
teens
have
even
more
support
to
start
their
businesses
sooner,
and
we
know
that
we
are
great
at
that,
because
we've
launched
and
helped
inspire
the
launch
of
30
without
a
direct,
focused
initiative.
G
A
Before
you
all
start,
I
have
another
meeting
I
got
to
get
to,
but
I
just
want
to
before.
He
actually
tells
this
story.
Mr
chairman,
I
want
to
brag
on
mr
kam
leslie
sitting
over
there.
He
is
alumni
of
this
program,
I'm
extremely
proud
of
him
and
extremely
proud
of
the
program.
What
it's
doing
for
this
for
the
students
of
this
commonwealth?
He
has
a
remarkable
story,
but
he
has
his
own
telecommunications
company,
he's
spreading
broadband
across
multiple
counties
and
actually
competing
with
some
of
the
larger,
larger
vendors
in
the
area.
A
So
we
are
proud
of
him,
but
when
you
hear
his
story,
you're
going
to
be
your
mouth
is
going
to
flop
open,
because
you
will
be
amazed-
and
I
know
these
other
stories
are
equally
important
and
equally
impressive-
also
about
us
cam.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do.
Thank
you
for
moving
forward
having
the
entrepreneurial
spirit.
We
applaud
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
B
Thank
you
representative,
before
you
leave
hang
on
for
a
second:
let's
go
ahead
and
do
the
the
minute
since
we
got
to
quorum
and
apologize,
because
if
he
relieves
we
will
lose
that
quorum.
So
anybody
want
to
make
an
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
january
18th
2022
meeting
got
a
motion
got
a
second
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
now
we
can
continue
divine.
H
Hi,
my
name
is
devina
akiza
and
I'm
a
junior
at
southward
high
school
in
bowling
green.
I
am
the
ceo
of
be
bold
print,
an
online
customizable
embroidery
shop.
I
sell
merchandise
through
my
website
social
media
and
online
shops,
where
I
offer
established
designs
and
a
chance
to
create
something
from
scratch.
H
H
My
father
had
always
encouraged
me
to
work
for
myself
rather
than
apply
for
a
part-time
job
and
as
he
puts
it,
make
someone
else
rich.
I
began
by
writing
a
business
plan.
To
be
honest,
I
was
only
making
the
plan
because
I
thought
I
should
I
don't
think
the
plan
alone
would
have
actually
helped
me
for
my
business.
Well.
H
Gse
helped
me
consider
things
I
wouldn't
have
thought
of
on
my
own
concepts
like
a
target
market
advertising,
and
especially
branding
really
helped
me
understand
what
it
is
to
own
a
business.
One
day
we
talked
about
branding
and
had
a
special
guest
come
in
to
demonstrate
how
he
creates
brands.
It
really
got
me
thinking
about
how
I
wanted
be
bold
print
to
be
perceived.
H
H
H
We
talked
to
many
people
and
got
many
partnerships,
but
I've
got
to
say
we
did
flex
talking
to
jack
harlow's,
first
manager
to
our
peers.
I
like
to
think
of
my
team
as
a
microcosm
of
kentucky.
We
were
all
so
different
and
while
we
did
butt
heads
quite
a
few
times,
we
worked
together.
Well,
we
all
figured
out
pretty
early
that
we
have
been
put
together
for
a
reason
at
our
schools.
H
We
usually
get
to
choose
who
we
are
in
a
group
with,
and
it's
usually
people
we
agree
with
having
differing
opinions,
really
ended
up
being
our
strongest
asset
from
our
numbers,
oriented
math
guy
nathan,
pauly.
We
got
our
low
investment
price
and
for
my
talented
welder,
teammate,
charlie
tompkins,
we
really
understood
the
construction
process,
despite
our
differences.
What
united
us
was
the
passion
for
our
climate
and
the
urge
to
do
something
about
it.
H
H
Big
brands
like
gildan,
haynes
and
jerseys
have
sustainable
clothing
options
and
packaging
is
even
compostable.
A
major
part
of
my
business
is
the
green
mindset.
I
have
the
clothes
I
embroider
are
made
sustainably.
My
packaging
is
compostable
and
I
have
other
plans
to
keep
the
green
mindset.
Evolving
talking
about
sustainability
leads
me
to
another
asset
I
gained
at
gsc
friendship.
H
I
can't
go
without
mentioning
the
inspiring
peers.
I
had
the
honor
of
meeting.
In
fact,
halen
were
ceo
of
bad
trip.
Clothing
educated
me
on
the
true
damage
of
clothing
waste
and
my
team
member
mckenna.
Sun,
who
helped
fund
a
solar
pal
solar
powered
benches
at
her
school
is
a
true
representation
of
changing
the
world
at
a
young
age.
H
I
could
go
on
about
gse
for
an
hour
and
my
friends
back
home
know
that's
true,
but,
as
I
end
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
mention
the
superb
guidance
of
our
ras
team
members
and
other
staff,
seeing
entrepreneurs
not
much
older
than
me
excel
in
their
passions
is
something
that
keeps
me
encouraged
during
this
restful
moments
of
owning
my
business
meeting.
Numerous
successful
gse
alumni
has
inspired
my
journey
from
college
freshmen
to
real
estate,
investors
and
non-profit
business
owners.
It
seems
anyone
involved
with
gsc
is
doing
something
that
makes
them
fulfilled
and
successful.
H
F
My
name
is
abigail
cheek
and
I
am
a
junior
at
the
university
of
louisville
and
a
2018
alumni
of
gse.
So
the
summer
after
my
sophomore
year
of
high
school,
I
was
accepted
to
gse.
At
that
time
I
had
no
idea
what
I
was
getting
into
or
how
much
of
an
impact
this
organization
would
have
on
my
future
that
summer
was
the
first
time
I
found
myself
in
an
environment
that
not
only
allowed
me
to
think
in
my
own
unique
way,
but
celebrated
it.
F
F
During
my
time
at
gse,
my
team
and
I
created
dosed
events.
A
pill
bottle
insert
that
prevents
accidental
overdoses
and
streamlines
the
dispensing
of
medication
through
networking
opportunities
provided
by
usc.
We
were
able
to
file
our
provisional
patent
as
seniors
in
high
school
for
free
and
have
recently
gone
on
to
file
for
our
non-provisional
patent.
F
I
I
We
presented
a
project
in
2017
for
home
security
solutions,
so
where
homeowners,
if
they
are
building
a
home
or
wanting
security
solutions
for
their
existing
home,
they
can
compare
the
different
security
providers
or
even
look
at
solutions
to
implement
their
own
end-user
security
solution.
First,
I
want
to
thank
tasha
for
having
me
here
today.
Tasha
has
been
one
of
the
people
I
have
been
kept
close
contact
with,
since
my
since
I
was
in
the
program
in
2017.
I
She
has
been
a
very
helpful
resource
for
me.
As
far
as
making
several
business
connections
that
I
still
use
to
this
day,
I
wanted
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
my
gse
experiences.
While
we
were
there,
there
are
there's
just
too
many
things
that
to
to
talk
about
today
that
we
learned
and
that
we
still
use
today.
One
of
the
big
things
that
gse
teaches
students
about
is
not
only
entrepreneurship
principles,
which
is
one
of
their
primary
focuses,
but
also
the
value
and
confidence
in
public
speaking
and
the
power
of
teamwork.
I
When
we,
when
I
was
going
into
the
program
in
2017,
I
was
put
in
a
team
with
three
other
people
that
I
had
never
met
before,
and
that
was
something
that
was
a
little
bit
out
of
the
ordinary
from
what
I
had
done
in
the
past,
because
during
our
years
through
high
school,
we're
usually
putting
teams
of
people
that
we've
known
for
several
years
that
we
can
socialize
with.
So
when
we're
put
in
a
group
of
people
that
we've
never
met
before,
you
know
bouncing
ideas
back
and
forth
off
of
each
other.
I
I
We
learned
about
financials,
budgeting
advertising,
business
ethics
and
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
I
still
use
today
is
public
speaking.
I
don't
think
I
would
be
able
to
be
here
today
and
confidently
speak
to
you
all
if
it
wasn't
for
the
gse
experience
that
I
had
being
able
to
do
demo
day
and
having
to
pitch
our
idea
in
front
of
an
audience
of
three
to
four
hundred
people
that
I
honestly
didn't
have
any
idea
who
they
were
during
my
time.
I
To
me,
I
believe
every
student
in
the
commonwealth
of
kentucky
should
be
able
to
have
the
gse
experience,
even
if
they
aren't
wanting
to
go
into
an
entrepreneurial
background.
Just
the
the
teamworking.
The
confidence
building
that
gse
promotes
is
something
that
every
student
in
the
commonwealth
should
be
able
to
experience,
as
as
they
go
on
in
their
life,
whether
it's
to
go
to
college
or
start
their
own
business
later
down
the
road
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
I've
applied.
I
Gse
to
my
company,
as
representative
reed
was
saying
I
own
telecast
communications
in
hodgenville,
which
is
in
larue
county
kentucky.
We
provide
internet
service
and
broadband
to
a
little
over
160
people
across
two
counties
by
partnering,
with
our
local
county
government,
our
water
district
and
some
private
tower
owners.
We've
been
able
to
create
a
large
wireless
network
that
covers
over
250
square
miles
across
two
counties
that
services
over
160
people.
I
This
has
allowed
people
in
rural
areas
that
have
never
been
able
to
have
good
internet
solutions
to
finally
have
something:
that's
fast,
reliable
and
affordable,
especially
to
where
now
students
can
either
learn
from
home.
Parents
can
work
from
home
and
every
american
deserves
to
have
a
quality
internet
solution
and
not
have
to
worry
about
it
going
out
when
it
rains
or
having
it
just
be
so
slow
that
you
can
only
have
one
person
on
at
a
time.
So,
with
with
broadband
expansion,
we
have
really
helped
to
bridge
the
digital
divide.
I
As
far
as
in
our
area,
gse
has
helped
me
with
that
experience
by
learning
to
teamwork
with
people.
The
business
relationships
I
have
formed
through
gse
have
helped
me
get
in
contact
with
several
people
across
the
state
that
have
been
willing
to
help
me
provide
advice
to
me,
as
well
as
just
in
general,
be
able
to
work
with
people
and
advertise
what
we
do
effectively
to
people
across
the
two
counties
and
without
the
gse
experience
that
I
received.
E
I'm
almost
one,
I'm
always
wanting
to
speak
up,
so
I've
got
a
lot
to
say
about
this
one
I
mean
to
start
with.
I
just
wish
the
entire
general
assembly
were
in
here
to
see
each
of
you.
There
are
so
many
stories
we
get
about
how
schools
are
failing.
I
mean
that's
the
narrative
and
there
are
so
many
of
our
public
school
students
who
are
just
simply
amazing,
just
very
impressed
with
each
of
you.
E
I've
always
had
an
entrepreneurial
nature.
From
the
time
we
were
recycling,
my
dad's
beer,
bottles
and
cans.
We
were
going
to
get
rich
off
that
one
too,
if
I
recall
correctly,
our
first
startup
we
had
a
business
called
quantum
network
international
registered
business.
We
were
going
to
do
importing
and
I
had
this
fax
machine
in
my
room
that
would
ring
all
night
long
because
of
the
you
know
the
the
international
they
never
went
anywhere.
But
you
know
that's
that's
what
we
learn
and
I've
studied
entrepreneurship
extensively.
E
So
I
mean
just
everything
that
you
can
learn
from
engaging
in
that
thought
process
of,
seeing
where
there's
a
need
and
filling
that
need
and
solving
the
problems.
You
know,
there's
not
good
internet
okay,
so
we
can,
as
students
even
we
can
solve
these
major
problems.
So
I
highly
commend
each
of
you.
I
thank
you
for
your
program.
I
think
we
need
to
give
them
a
lot
more
money
wish
brandon
we're
still
here,
but
I'm
just
very
grateful
for
this
presentation
and
fully
support
the
program
in
any
way.
I
can.
B
B
B
We
have
someone
from
bowling
green,
which
is
not
nearly
the
size
of
louisville,
but
still
the
third
largest
city
in
kentucky,
and
then
we
have
someone
from
hodgeville
a
small
rural
town.
So
I
think
that's
something.
That's
that's
very
important
is
that
we
we
have
people
that
are
from
very
diverse
areas,
with
very
diverse
businesses
that
you
guys
have
and-
and
I
think
that's
an
indication
of
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
do.
B
This
presentation
was
very,
very
impressive
and,
like
I
say
I
wish
I
had
the
money
and
I
wish
I
was
mark
cuban
and
I'd
invest
the
heck
out
of
you
guys,
but
I
thought
it
was
very,
very
good,
so
we
really
appreciate
you
guys
coming
today.
Very
much
and
and
giving
your
testimony
it's
always
good
when
we
can
get
testimony
from
young
people
who
show
what
hard
work
and
dedication
can
do
to
being
successful.
So
thank
you
guys
for
for
being
here
today
and
tasha.
