Student's Online Aspirational Resource
From a communal challenge, where students faced a lack of proper resources to navigate their choices, an idea was born.
A Call to Action
SOAR was born out of our noticing the shared struggle for clarity among students. Recognizing the gap between the wealth of potential futures and the scarcity of direct guidance, we envisioned a platform that could bridge this divide.
Addressing a crowd of students, educators, and parents, founder Sebastian Nosenzo, who was then in 8th Grade, presented a bold idea: an online community where professionals share their journeys, offering students a beacon of insight into various careers and academic fields. This wasn't just about making choices; it was about making informed decisions with confidence and support.
Today, SOAR stands as a testament to the power of shared knowledge and the importance of community in the journey of self-discovery. We invite you to be part of this journey. Whether you seek guidance or offer it, SOAR is your platform to explore, connect, and ultimately, to empower your future.
Welcome to SOAR—where your journey to clarity begins.
About the Founder
Sebastian Nosenzo
FOUNDER
I'm Sebastian Nosenzo, a Sophomore at Graded - The American School of São Paulo in Brazil, and I'm the founder of SOAR. My journey, shaped by living and learning across different cultures—the US, China, Italy, and now Brazil—has taught me the importance of understanding our choices' paths and impacts. This personal experience, combined with a profound wish to help others find their way, led me to create SOAR. I can't wait for this resource to grow and to help students like myself succeed.
Message from the Founder
SOAR represents an open invitation for us all to share, learn, and deeply engage with something of paramount importance: our futures. My goal was to create a platform that holds value not just for me, but for my peers and students all around the world.
Navigating the path to our futures can often feel like moving through a fog of confusion and uncertainty. I've seen firsthand the confusion and uncertainty that can cloud our decisions about the future, and I believe in providing a beacon for those navigating these choices. SOAR is my way of offering that guidance, crafted from a place of deep empathy and a genuine aspiration to make a meaningful impact.
Welcome to a community where your future isn't just a distant thought, but a bright horizon we approach together. You've already taken the first step towards SOARing to new heights.
