Hi Readers,
I've never been terribly keen on taking part in the digital 'revolution' that my generation is undergoing. I waited years to start a facebook account (granted, I now use this several times a day), a gmail account, and I'm still not on board with twitter. However, as I have recently started updating the blog for the organization I'm volunteering with, I have had my eyes opened to the value of sharing thoughts and experiences with one's peers - in both a professional and personal sense.
I believe we can (and should) learn from each others' opinions and experiences. If there is anything that nearly 20 years of formal education has taught me, it's that there is always someone who knows more than me. Therefore I will be leaving this blog open to comments, though I ask that those of you who wish to comment remain level-headed in agreeing or disagreeing with myself or others who might comment. I don't want this to turn ugly.
In terms of content - I intend to write both about my personal life, my periodic [hopefully interesting] experiences, and often how that all ties in to my professional life - mostly involving the study of poverty, policies (foreign and domestic), and reality on-the-ground. Right now my professional life happens to be taking place inside a prison in a small town in Peru, where I've been working with women and children to help lead them to better futures. I hope my experiences shared through this blog will enrich someone's life, make someone think twice, or at the very least provide some mild entertainment.
So, when I get back from the lovely Peruvian meal I'm about to enjoy, I will write some actual content.
Besos!
