In fact, being able to convey ideas to one person or to many is essential, no matter what career you choose. When we originally decided to publish Florida Trend s NEXT , we talked with educators, government leaders and most of all, students just like you. You all have different dreams and plans for the future. And we heard you loud and clear when you said that you had questions about how to achieve those dreams. That s when we knew this magazine could help.
High school is tough.
And the decisions you have to make before and after you graduate are even tougher. We believe you can flourish if you have the right information. The many advertisers , supporters and especially the sponsors listed to the right join us in encouraging you to be your best. No matter how you decide to get your life s message across whether it s from a podium, through the powerful reach of the Internet or the pages of a magazine use the knowledge you have now to give yourself a great future. Sincerely, Lynda Keever More than 50 companies and organizations have advertisements throughout this magazine.
