World We Dare to Imagine, Part 1

 World We Dare to Imagine

I think that something I would want to follow through on in the future post is giving back to my community. I want to start with my community because it was what brought me to where I am now. I want to continue to foster an environment that encourages kids that grew up in my area to pursue higher education. I had so many resources given to me by the kindness of others and I hope to do something like that in the future. I have no clear plans but I know I want to have an impact. For me to take my first step towards this I have to focus on myself and get into a position where I can provide some value to my community. Furthermore, I want to find others like me from my community that would join me in my mission to help others. I have much more to figure out in my plans to make this come true, however I know I will make it happen at some point in my future.

    Hey Alexis. It's super cool that you want to help give back to your community. Maybe you can find students of similar ages from your community who want to help. Then you can form a group to be able to speak to students about higher education and future opportunities.

    Hey Alexis, nice post. I like how you want to give back to your community, because I too, feel like I got a lot from my local community which makes me enjoy volunteering and giving back in any small way that I can. I think that establishing a website or database where resources like community engagement opportunities, people with similar ambitions, and additional community resources can be found would set a solid foundation for community reinvestment to flourish.

    Hey Alexis! I agree that giving back to the community is great way for everyone to improve the environment. We get so busy in college and often forget to give back to the community. I believe the next step could be coming up with a concrete plan based on the types of problems that could solved or improved in our community.

    Hi Alexis. Being apart of community and giving back is very admirable. I think the next step would be creating a plan. It could include volunteering, setting up resources, or creating a group that gives back to the local community.

Book 1, Post 1

The book I have chosen to read is Brian Cox’s Putting the Rabbit in the Hat . I chose this book because the subject of the book, Brian Cox, was an actor I have recently discovered through Succession . When I think of actors, I have a preconception that they started at a higher point in life than normal such as being from an affluent family however this is not the case for Brian Cox. Reading this Cox’s autobiography has really helped me remember that even people that are very successful were not always as fortunate their whole lives. So, I think that reading this book has reminded me to relieve my preconceived thoughts about people who are very successful.  Starting at the prologue, I was shocked to see the name Steven Seagal. Seagal is an actor not many of my friend’s know of but I do because my parents loved the Under Siege series. Also, I never knew I had seen Cox in The Glimmer Man over a decade ago. Brian Cox comes across as a very humble person, who doesn’t take himself too ...

Book 1, Post 2

Reading Putting the Rabbit in the Hat by Brian Cox was a great time. The reading was structured in a way that I kind of forgot I was reading. The stories are great as Cox does not hold back on his thoughts of other actors or directors. It is very different to me reading about Cox holding himself accountable for many things he wishes he had done better. It was a breath of fresh air since most people fail to acknowledge their own shortcomings especially in an autobiography.  I do think that at first I wanted to relate to his story in some way, but this did not end up happening and I am okay with that because it made it all the more interesting reading about drastically different experiences than my own. One thing that was in my mind while reading was that Cox has always been passionate about acting and it is portrayed very clearly in this book. For me, Cox’s ambition from a young age really made me think about why I haven’t found something I am truly passionate about. Reading this b...
