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.

7. Get into graduate school


7. Get into graduate school

3 down, 27 to go. So for those of you who don’t know, which most likely is the majority of you, I came to the conclusion late February that I needed to focus my education.  Seeing a dichotomy between educational development within public schools and community based knowledge I feel it is important to try to understand this separation and find ways to develop holistic curriculum that reunites schools with their communities.   


I also find it easier to stay in school.  Yes, there is a lot of truth to that joke.  But all joking aside I feel community oriented learning is vital for personal development.  Students, teachers, schools, community organizations need to see themselves as whole, working together to develop a positive environment where knowledge can flow freely.  I am looking forward to further understand the structure of education and how to go about creating positive change within public schools.
