Love you, honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026 <\/strong>bringing people out of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The perfect day would be\u2026 <\/strong>coffee, exercise, travel, peanut butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My first job was\u2026 <\/strong>selling shoes at Just For Feet\u2026mostly the \u201995 Air Max and the Nike Air Max Sensation. And Airwalks. I worked 11-hour shifts as a 16-year-old and was only allowed a 30-minute break. Not sure if that was legal? But I maximized every break by eating 8 tacos from Pancho\u2019s. Pretty sure I ate that every day. That\u2019s really my favorite memory from working there. And, Just For Feet used to have a special promotion where they would sell shoes at a heavy discount from midnight until 6am. It didn\u2019t work \u2013 they filed bankruptcy many years ago. But I thought the idea was super cool.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My favorite escape\u2026<\/strong>YouTube clips. My attention span is about 8 minutes. This is what I don\u2019t like about technology \u2013 way too much stimulation, so I am no longer able to focus on one thing for too long. But I am addicted. I really want to find a way to live without technology. Maybe I\u2019ll get one of those old rotary phones. Not sure if you can call a Smartphone with those?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My life\u2026<\/strong> is just beginning. That\u2019s the great thing about kids. I get to live a new life through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m currently working on\u2026 <\/strong>parenting\u2026not sure how to do it. My kids don\u2019t listen to me.

It led me to Junior Achievement \u2013 an organization whose DNA has focused on entrepreneurship education for kids, for more than 100 years. I\u2019ve been with the organization for 9 years, and I get the opportunity to help fuel our impact on kids\u2019 futures by finding donors who are passionate about helping them succeed in work and life. I feel an obligation to help kids \u2013 especially those coming from tougher backgrounds. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet Sam Alpert of Junior Achievement, an
