Helping young people find their path to a successful future-with or without college Helping young people find their path to a successful future-with or without college College isn't right for everyone. And as tuition costs continue to rise, more and more young people-from straight-A students to the not-so-avid pupils-are choosing an alternative to the 4-year degree. Yet there is little support to help them find their track to a promising future beyond the classroom. Make Your Own Lunch empowers and guides young people as they search for their answer to the age-old question- "What do you want to be when you grow up" Readers discover new ways to pursue their interests and gain experience through travel, philanthropy, and more.
"All young people need to get inspired, explore, learn, and live with purpose. Ryan Porter champions this message with heart and humor. " - Josh Shipp
"In Make Your Own Lunch, Porter distinctly reminds readers that their future is their own...His advice sums up to the idea of following your dreams and apologizing to close ones for hurting them, but not for living your life and going after the things you desire most." - Standard-Examiner
"Porter assures students that they can decide what they want their future to look like and that it doesn't have to be limited to one thing... High school students could benefit from hearing that it's okay to stop doing something they aren't passionate about." - Publishers Weekly
At 21, Ryan Porter dropped out of college to answer the question "What should I be when I grow up" His quest for an answer took him to Japan, Slovakia, Austria, Nicaragua, the Czech Republic, and more. Now he shares his findings as CEO of Raise Your Flag and as a leading motivational speaker.
