A couple of things caught my attention. 1) It was apparent that many of these kids do not understand what city government can do vs what is the responsibility of other governmental agencies.… Continue reading We the People
My latest project is to, somehow, build diversity in our theater program. I truly believe that every student in America deserves access to the arts in their school. I believe theater can directly and positively impact a student's academic performance and career preparedness. Yesterday a tech student sat down next to me, "I love theater,"… Continue reading Building a Diverse Theatre

At first it felt annoying and a bit nit-picky. Then, I realized she was just concerned with safety. I needed to… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Fire Safety

As I volunteer in the high school I am noticing an alarming trend within the adults-in-training that I serve. This trend is often diagnosed as laziness. However, I believe it is a lack of training... and… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Real Adults Take Responsibility for Themselves
