Gone Boarding has had a large impact on my life by giving me the opportunity to experience a handful of different career paths with little to no risk early on. In high school, it's so essential to try different career options and see what resonates before making decisions with what you want to do next.

This approach allowed me to go into video production instead of industrial design because I was able to be hands-on with an internship that was made possible through the class and the network it provides. I'm now 25 and sit as a partner/director of photo and video for a marketing agency that does work nationally.
