Great connection between Sinek’s ideas and Myers-Briggs “feelers” category. Hadn’t ever made that connection, and I look forward to thinking through your point that “Activists are feelers.” Also admire […]

Wish I’d read this before bumping into you at PA! Sometimes when I read a student’s emerging thinking about an idea there’s a moment when things click into place. I had that experience reading yours. […]

So enjoyed zooming in and reading every word of your mind map. All of it grabbed me, and in particular the line, “What if America loved black people as much as black culture.”

Then when I zoomed out […]

What a great mind map! And your featured image pops AND represents a mind at work. Love it.

I’m going to drop my objectivity and tell you which topic interests me the most, which doesn’t mean it’ […]

Both are such important topics, and as you and the research show, Vermont’s not immune to either. I glanced ahead at your Mind Map to see if you went with one of these two topics or if you chose […]

A pleasure to read your thoughtful, compelling prose. I could’ve just kept reading. You manage to tell this story in a way that is personal, persuasive, and provocative. What an honor to be asked to […]

You’re just where we want you right now, mulling over options before committing. Currently you’re considering two environmental issues–water quality & sustainable development–and you’re interested in […]

What a pleasure to hear about your interactions with three people I know and respect! One way to invest in our future would be to surround young people with adults who model intelligence, compassion, […]

So glad you decided to join WtS and that you’re excited about our blank page / resource rich approach.

It’s perfectly okay that you’re uncertain how you will fill in that blank page. The […]

Thanks for sharing theses additional resources / ideas, though I’m wondering where the slides are that this assignment asked you to make, to go along with your description?

Thanks,

Nice job laying out some more of your thinking. The three outcomes you describe in your final paragraph are biggies. One of the challenges of this course is thinking big, while also thinking on a scale […]

It’s not hard to tell when a learner begins to get the feel for a topic / issue that compels them to learn more. Great to see! Spent a week in South Dakota in September and got to watch bird dogs hunt, and […]

Had two afterthoughts.

1. Blogpost #6 (making and posting a mind map) is a great place for you to explore all the possibilities that relate to mental health. Even though I encouraged you to get ready to […]

This is terrific, though I know you’ve already moved on to education, so I’m going to head to that post and reply to it.

And hey: so glad that you had completed this on time. Sorry it ended up in the […]

Really appreciate that you accessed multiple sources to learn more. Also appreciate that you cited them, though I’m uncertain what the story is you excerpted at the opening (what a great extended metaphor: […]

So glad Simon Sinek’s ideas worked their way into you during the week. Sometimes it take awhile for new ideas to sink and and take hold.

Also glad that you’ve been thinking about bias. Years ago I was […]

Just read through all your blog posts. Before I dive right into your topic search / interviews, I want to let you know that I’ve never had anyone self-identify as a “card thrower.” I’m intrigued (and […]

Just read through all three of your posts. A surgeon who works for NASA! How cool would that be? Next time I see you I’ll ask more about this. (Always interesting to me how people get interested in a […]
