So, why don’t I just dive into this. People ask what I’m doing right now. I feel like I’ve been on vacation since I graduated from college last May. Right now I’m in St. Louis, visiting friends from school. I just got back from a 45-day Outward Bound trip in North Carolina, and I’m under 2 weeks away from traveling to South Africa, where I’m going to be volunteering as an assistant instructor for Outward Bound there. So, I’ll admit I’m living a pretty awesome life right now.
I’m also trying to get some writing done. Not just this blog stuff, which I think is awesome, but article too that might get published somewhere. I’m a total idealist, and want more people to see the world as I do, which wouldn’t be an evil thing, as you can see I’m having fun, and doing some pretty productive and helpful things with my life.
What I’d really love to do, long term, is be a leading force in education reform. I hated school, especially college. I mean, the social stuff I loved, but classes and assignments, I felt like I was wasting my life away. But I got out finally, and now I’m doing the things I love, and I sort of have a mission in life to help others to do the things in life they love, which would mean not spending 4 years after high school moaning about the bs that is much of college.
OK, that was my first real go at blogs…kind of strange to think about what stage of your life you’re in when you find something like this, and to realize just how much stuff is out there that this little ol’ internet is going to help bring together. Aight, let’s publish this baby!!!
