What a fabulous semester this has been! I was drawn to this
class from the course description that “general
do-gooders” will find value in this course and I certainly have.
I have learned the steps to be an entrepreneur, but frankly,
it’s not in the cards for me. I am a bit
too risk adverse to be the one person that everything falls on. BUT what I can do is be a strong corner in a
winning team. I want the world around me
to change, I want to pursue a career that I find personally fulfilling, and I
think that will bring me to crossroads and ventures such as Face Race. I want to be a person that uplifts
visionaries and assists them in mapping a long term path. I want to be the person in brain storming
sessions and that is part of moving organizations and ideas forward.
I have been repeatedly inspired this semester to watch the
passion and perseverance that you have all used to pursue “a greater good”. Learning the backgrounds of where the ideas
came from and all of your personal experiences has been an interesting and a
learning experience for me! I mean aquaponics?!
Keep on pushing your ideas forward and I can’t wait to read about your
progress as your visions become closer to reality! (I will also really enjoy
getting to brag about knowing all of you in the early stages.)
A special thank you to all of you that I have had the
pleasure of getting to know and the great conversations surrounding your
ventures. Even in a policy school, we
can get so overwhelmed that we miss the opportunities to talk and reflect on
why we are pursuing this work in the first place. This class allowed me to slow down and have
those conversations with many of you…even if it was somewhere in between having
a paper due and a test the next day.
