Join My Team

Dear friends, family, and wonderful people I have yet to meet

I am looking for allies to help me on my passionate learner experiment journey.  Through this experiment a group of students and myself are trying to answer the question "How can I change the world in 24 hours?" and explore our passions. I am trying to see what I can do to make a change in my community about something I am passionate about.  I have determined that I want to work to help get more drama education in elementary schools and I will need some help.  I would love to know what you think and what kind of drama education you would have liked in elementary school? Drama and theatre has so much wonderful things to teach us if we get the opportunity to learn it.  By sending me what you what kind of drama you would have liked in elementary school I can get a better understanding of the most important things missing from the programs right now and work to help change them.

Thank you show much for your help everyone! The more help, support, and information I have the more I can work to make a difference in the world around me :)

Sincerely

Abby Skene (AKA Positive Pinky)

My Life Purpose Quest 2.4

Life Purpose. What a crazy thing to think about.  Should it be a long detailed description of everything I have to do in my life? Or a short novel of everything I believe? Well after watching “How to Know Your Life’s Purpose in 5 Minutes” a TED Talk by film producer Adam Leipzig I discovered that for this moment in my life I can define my life purpose with three easy questions...

• Who are you?;
• What is the one thing you feel supremely qualified to provide to other people?;
• Who do you do it for?;
• What do these people want or need from you?;
• How do they change or transform as a result of what you give them?

After LOTS of reflection this is what I believe right now...

I am Abby. I perform and teach drama to children. I do it for young kids who would not have an opportunity to experience theatre otherwise. They need someone who will believe in them, build their confidence, let them explore, and introduce them to world of theatre. I help them come out of their shells, have fun, and develop skills they didn't know they had.

As I am writing this my heart literally fills with joy. If you are truly passionate about something you move into "FLOW" and ideas just come rushing out of you. When I talk about theatre for children I get so excited I never want to stop. Have you experienced "FLOW"? What do you never want to stop talking about?
