Present and future plans and goals
MY PRESENT STEPS: Since The Bugaboos, I have been working on an organic vegetable farm called Fledging Crow Vegetables. I have been making and saving money as a laborer, and volunteer coordinator. I also raised 12 pigs with my friend Ryan Weidenbach to slaughter so that i can fund my next journey. My next journey is planned for October 24, 2014. I will be heading to Papau New Guinea to paddle the Sepik River in a dugout canoe that i hope to buy from the local people there. I hope to live and learn with the tribal people as i make my way down the river to the ocean. I plan to start at "Green River" and paddle about 30 days to the ocean.
TOWARD MY FUTURE:I find that my career goals and my academic goals are catalysts to get to my long-term goal more efficiently, They teach me lessons about myself and push me to dig deeper to overcome the difficult challenges. I also believe that they give me good practice in skills needed to function in this society and field, I must be able to talk in front of large groups, Write and express ideas clearly, Log my experiences and effectively reflect on them. These are just a few of the reasons why I feel it is important to have smaller goals in place. Motivating myself to go for my long-term goal is difficult and overwhelming starting without any short term goals to motivate me along the way.
