When I look at my generation I see a generation jaded by a flawed political system and short-sighted corporations.I see a generation that wants to make a difference if they could only find a way to do so without feeling like the problems are hopelessy large and out of their control.I see a generation that is creative, talented, and good-hearted, but lacks the framework and tools to apply these qualities to the world at large.I see a generation failed by the eduaction system we were raised in that has not given us the tools to fix the problems we will inherit.I see a generation with the potential to change the world as they move from school to careers in a huge variety of fields and locations.I think that the energy of my generation is an untapped resource and that although the problems of the world are intimidating, if we can find a way to connect people’s passions with problems that need solving there is plenty of energy and talent to make the changes that need to be made.I’m interested in design, sustainability, entrepreneurship, collaboration, and most interested in the synthesis of all of the above. Call it idealism or naiveté, but I whole-heartedly believe that we can change the world and help to ensure that our planet remains livable for the next generation. But there’s much to be done, so lets get going!
