The Beginning

The Original List

This all began around February 2012, when the realization of turning 29 got me thinking about who I was and who I wanted to be. The classic pondering sense from Zoolander comes to mind, “Who am I.” The fast approaching 29th birthday quickly moved aside and my attention focused on that number you don’t thinking about until it is already upon you, yeah 30, I know. Now don’t get me wrong, I can’twait to be 30, but also realize I have much to do before I get there.


So this is where the “list” comes into play. I started to compile a list of things I wanted to do before I reached 30. Playing off of the title of the ESPN documentaries 30 for 30 I decide to create a list of 30 things to do by age 30. Thus creating the title 30 by 30. Fallow me in my adventure to 30, where I’ll be documenting every successful or non-successful attempt to check off everything from my list.


Follow me on an adventure to 30, I’ll be documenting every successful or non-successful attempt to check off everything from my list.

6. Beat my highest GPA


6. Beat my highest GPA
2 down, 28 to go. Looking back at past GPAs (including, college and high school) realized I would have to focus a large amount of energy this semester on my schoolwork.  So with a lot of work and a final push at the end I successfully accomplished goal number 6. 

Beating my highest GPA was not the “why” or the focus for doing well in my classes, rather it was the end result of aligning my passion with my educational development.  My passion for helping students who struggle in school pushed me to learn all that I could about the structure and method of education, which leads to my reason for pursuing a graduate degree.
