Why Jaredtalks?

Big Ideas, Real Impact

An introduction to me:

Hello everyone, my name is Jared Strand! I am a current high school senior at a boarding school in Connecticut and an aspiring professional basketball player. But more than that, I have always wanted to make a difference in the lives of those around me more than anything else. The goal in mind is that I can share my own personal experiences and mistakes combined with the experiences and knowledge of others, to try to bring awareness towards mental health, mindsets, and overall, to help people live happier lives. Whether you’re chasing a dream, fighting your own battles, or just trying to get through one day at a time, I hope this page can be a source of strength and courage to anybody who listens. Thank you, and I can't wait to go on this journey with you.
