Communication can be hard. I know that it is the most basic of human skills, but that doesn’t make it easy. After watching Celeste Headlee’s TED talk, I decided I would try to make a conscious effort to have better conversations and communication. Although I am sometimes good at having conversations, I’m not always. So …

Finally Done (other than my 20 late assignments)
I thoroughly enjoyed our senior capstone. I believe that you did a good job with the brand new syllabus. I think focusing on a creative project that all of us can contribute to was a genius idea. As a chronic procrastinator (as you by now well know), I wish we had sooner and more urgent …

What I learned from Social Media
I did not know what to expect when I signed up for a class called social media. I had heard good things about the class, but I did not know what to expect. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take it. Before taking the class, …
Pressing the “cancel” button
I was planning on doing an intent dive into cancel culture, and whether it truly exists in the way it was talked about, but I was quickly distracted by the story of Aaron Calvin. Reading his article in the Colombia Journalism Review, inspired me to conduct many google searches into the story. I vaguely remembered …
Fording the River
I like the imagery of a river. Serene and peaceful. The river flows from one area to another. It is constantly buzzing with life and excitement. It is much better than a latter. One that hides in the shed until you need to clean your gutters then immediately return to the shed. Bridget Thoerson’s post …

Sitting on the floor of my professors office listening to others present, I was faced with a question. Would I perform this elevator pitch in real life. If I happened to find myself in the elevator with the Dean of the Law School at Georgetown, would I just start talking about myself. I don’t think …
Flying through the Interview
I listened to the podcast where Gary Raz interviewed David Neeleman the founder of JetBlue Airlines, Azul Airlines and Breeze Airlines. I was drawn into this podcast because I knew how static the airline market is. As a global scholar, I have travelled immensely and seen the lack of options. In fact, Breeze (which was …
They Say I’m a Dreamer
Upon taking the Adobe Creative Type Quiz, I did not know what to expect. Although I am well familiar with the Gallups strengths tests and other similar strengths test, I had never heard of this one. Yet, I found the answer to be interesting. The test described me as a DREAMER which means I have …
Over five hundred twenty five thousand possible words
How do you write a sentence for you? How does one define themselves? This is the question philosophers have debated for ages. Who am I? Most people would respond to this question by reciting facts about themselves and constructing a narrow picture of who they are. Giving a full answer to this question is nearly …

How I could have been a pre-teen Entrepreneur
The summer before I headed to Middle School (yes, I was just a young tot), I spent two weeks in Washington DC taking a Gallup class for kids on strengths and entrepreneurship. Everyday I would take the metro into the city with my Grandma and then learn about entrepreneurship. We would take field trips to …
