One Amazing Thing I've Done
I got a grant from my school to learn about radical education in Mexico and met a personal hero, Gustavo Esteva. I went to fantastic lectures he gave and learned a lot through some connections to interesting people he has. I went to a progressive school for oppressed kids and learned about their mission, I went to a government center for educational studies to find out about the projects there, and interviewed workshop-organizing marxists, all in two weeks!
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to help anyone with French, or of course with English. I would love to improve my French further and learn more Spanish. I can also help with basic guitar and piano skills.
My Interests
Meeting new people, learning more about the world, learning new languages and expressions in them, watching interesting and powerful movies, reading books, seeing friends, autodidacticism
