How I did it
How to speak fluent spanish
It took me
3 years
It made me
proud

How I did it: My sister started learning Spanish first, and she would teach me as she learned. I picked up the basics that way, then decided to try for Spanish classes. In December 2008 I spent 2 weeks in Mexico visiting my sister, who now lives there, and was able to understand and speak with complete ease. Read how I did it…

How to go Kayaking
It took me
16 years
It made me
alive

How I did it: I first went kayaking with my aunt on Puget Sound in Washington, and it was absolutely amazing - we paddled alongside seals and jellyfish, and watched sailboats slide by. I'll never forget it. Read how I did it…

learn Swedish (read all 3 entries…)
'Teach Yourself Swedish' is helpful 10 months ago

I recently checked the ‘Teach Yourself Swedish’ book and audio CD set out from my local library, and have so far been doing a chapter a night. The book is very easy to follow, and I’ve already learned a bunch of new words and can already construct simple sentences! I think if I continue studying every day, I’ll definitely be well on my way to speaking and understand everyday Swedish!

have conversations late into the night with fascinating people
Intelligence rocks! 10 months ago

I’ve been realizing more and more lately just how much I value being around intelligent, open-minded people. I can’t explain how amazing it is to find people with whom I can talk about anything – be it politics, health, cultures…

Every time I have an deep conversation with someone, I feel I learn something new about the world and about myself. I want to do it more.

Live in the present
No more worries! 10 months ago

I’m constantly worrying. I worry about everything – relationships, school, what to eat, where I’m going to live when I graduate – and I think it’s time that stopped. If I can learn to live in the present, the future will be better, and if the future is better, there is no reason to worry in the first place.

I know I can do this. It’s going to be HARD, but I’m going to force myself to appreciate life as it is NOW.
