Amanda Fingerhut, the education coordinator, helps children reinvent themselves as leaders during a three day conference by instilling a positive mantra and confident attitude in each participant through a series of activities and guest speakers. Her value of education is shown to the kids at risk, encouraging them to take school seriously and try to focus on learning. The effect is remarkable on these children as the camera tells no lies, emphasizing the importance of a positive influence and a smile on children from some heroic people who are willing to take on the job.
