What happens when the ancient values of hospitality and community-building meet modern-day education?
Join me, as I explore this with Sel Buyuksarac, co-founder of the River City Science Academy in Jacksonville, Florida. Sel's journey from engineering to education brings to life the power of systems, emphasizing kindness and inclusion as powerful spiritual expressions. Discover how Sel’s upbringing in a family of educators ignited his passion for fostering global citizenship and community engagement. Through his personal experiences, Sel sheds light on the often-overlooked value of commitment and personal responsibility that fosters bridges within our communities.
Together, we discuss the potential of engineering principles to transform educational settings into vibrant, supportive communities. Jacksonville serves as our backdrop, an ideal city for community engagement where positive energy fuels motivation and growth. As Sel shares anecdotes from his path, gratitude emerges as a core theme, alongside faith that inspires and guides his commitment to service. This episode is a celebration of education's transformative power and the enduring impact of hospitality in shaping a more connected and compassionate world.
