All In Education

by Peggy Stalter

This morning's speaker, Kyle Shelley, is a member of the Costa Mesa Rotary club. He works with college students and members of the "I Generation", (young people in their 20's), who have gotten themselves into problems due to student loans, over spending, and credit card debts. He is young, and has found they will listen to him when they will not listen to parents or the older generation. He works on college campuses helping students. You can view his efforts at his web site, www.allineducation.com.

Credit card companies come after these young people in the same way cigarette companies did our generation. If you have children or grandchildren in this generation you know how large a problem this is. It can plague them the rest of their lives if they do not learn how to control it.

He would like to work with our club and other Rotary clubs in this area, His goal is to work with high school students, before they get into financial trouble, by educating them on the pitfalls. High school personnel have been open and excited about the program. If young people do not learn to control this area of their life, they will never be able to give back and help the world as Rotarians.
