Post - High School / Follow Up

It's been a month since we've stepped foot on the Righetti High School campus. It's crazy to think I may never see a lot of you again, and crazier to think any of you will even read this. I still see this blog every day in my bookmarks so I figured it was time to give it some proper closure. (until I have something else of significance to say...)

I enjoyed my four years at Righetti, and, despite the challenges we faced with time and effort, enjoyed Open Source Learning as well. I know the vision is still there, even if it didn't actualize like some people imagined. I'm sure next year's class will have a better chance at it. Hopefully, after things begin to take off and I find my wings, I can come back and help those who are like me. I'm still working on my designs, and studying about different topics as much as I can. I also hope to direct a film or two over summer. I'm also still planning on creating that EP later on in the year, but we had some change in idea direction for it, so we may scrap what's done and redo it with new ideas. I'm always looking for fellow creatives to work with, I'm open to many different types of art and design. I am still lost but soon, I know, things will start to happen piece by piece. I want to teach younger generations to stop being degraded by adults, telling them to settle for anything they can get, to stop doing this, and stop doing that, get a retail job and slave away forever. I want kids to be inspired to follow their passions and make them a viable, sustainable reality. I want musicians to make what they want, not what they think will get them some local gigs and sell a few quick CDs. If I can do that, in any way, it'll be worth it. For now, this is the end of this blog. Thank you again to everyone who made my life a little bit better throughout high school, and to Mrs. Byrne and Dr. Preston, for helping me think outside the box. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Find your wings and fly.
