I have always just kinda gone with the flow and am pretty good at being reactionary. And some really awesome opportunities have just sort of fallen in my lap. While fantastic, I can't help but feel that at some point my Dude-abides luck might run out. Or in the very least, I might need to become a little more proactive.
One of the things I have always wanted was a doctorate. There was no rational reasoning for this, and when the idea first entered my head I had no clue what it would entail. Indian Jones was my idea of a doctor. I really wanted to be an expert in EVERYTHING (while wearing a cool hat, having fun/dangerous adventures and opening doors with whips). While the desire is still there, the purpose has developed, and I know that I want to be a part in creating awesome public school teachers.
Ok, that's great. But now we come back to 30 yr old me just letting things happen. And I have let things happen to a point where graduate school is nowhere near on my horizon. So while yet another amazing opportunity has fallen into my lap (Learning Creative Learning), along with 24,000 other laps, I am going to take hold of this experience and start spending time on my own development again. Next step, grad school.
After that I'll start perfecting my whip skills.
