Goal Setting for Students

About Us

I became social entrepreneur after a life-changing event that involved my granddaughter. She attended a “magnet” school in the St. Louis Public School system. At a parent– teacher conference I read some essays posted on a bulletin board entitled “The Night.” One seventh grade girl wrote:

“I’m not afraid of the night.

I’m not even afraid when I hear bullets.

I take my brother and we lay down in the bathtub until the shooting stops.”

Accent on Success®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children succeed, is the direct result of that young girl’s essay. John Bishop is the Executive Director of the organization.
