learning quest

I’m leaving Eagle Rock School this morning, renewed and inspired. The intentionality of this community, the way in which youth and adults challenge each other to grow, and a holistic approach to learning has prompted me to set high goals for my personal growth during this unique stage of my life.

My goals are to use this time as a learning quest: to open my mind beyond its current borders; to read a broad variety of literature, history, and political/cultural perspective; to make time with friends, family, and strangers meaningful ~ to listen, share, learn, and teach. I want to improve my Spanish dramatically. And I want to continue to set, record, and reflect upon goals for my personal growth. Writing them here is a way for me to hold myself accountable to them (and for you to hold me accountable as well.)

By the way: I'm having difficulty up-loading photos to this blog, but I have posted pictures from the first days of this trip here.
