Destiny...Fears:Challenges People Face in Education

When does education become an unnecessary task? There are many programs encouraging “continued education” to adults of all ages. Franklin Quest Education and Leadership Foundation, Inc. was founded for this very reason. In every endeavor I have encountered, I have always been the trainer, the listener, the one who people looked to when clarification was needed. Of course, this is not what I went to college for. This is my calling, education. On so many levels, education can be related to various industries and life processes. Because of the broad spectrum of education, I have been able to speak to a diverse group of people from all ages and complex backgrounds. One common thread I have found with these diverse groups of people is that all of them have some sort of insecurity, discomfort, or unwillingness to either start or continue their education. This book will highlight moments in time where I have either experienced these feelings myself or have indirectly experienced them through others. Being a daughter of educators, my father, Melvin Jones, and mother, Shirley Lewis, will also share experiences, wisdom and knowledge through their continued education. Our goal is to educate, ignite, and inspire you to let go of your fear of accomplishment and embrace the wonderful changes that education can bring to your life. Our stories do not start off as success stories, but in fact end with the success of obedience to God. Therefore, when does education become an unnecessary task? Never! We can only hope not just to become educated, but to experience true education.

"Intelligence plus character, is the goal of true education.” – Dr. Martin L. King

Artsplosions

We are excited to share in our first promotional event for our visual artists. Artsplosions is a promotional initiative  directed toward the marketing efforts of local visual artists. We recognize the struggle with artists' being able to expose themselves to potential buyers and have taken a large step in providing business opportunities through social events around the city. We are also looking to expand our efforts national wide as we continue to serve communities through entrepreneurial empowerment. Each event is planned to out-do the last....stay connected to our announcements.
