WORLD WE DARE TO IMAGINE

Surfing it is fun and relaxing, which I believe everyone should have access to. I personally am not the best surfer in the world, but I can catch a wave. It is a awesome way to start your day and gives you time to think about your day or life. My idea is to have a program were people from different communities come take lessons and just surf. These people would be people who wouldn’t normally be able to have access to surfing. They wouldn’t just learn how to surf, but be able to meet people from different communities than their own and gain a new hobby from it.

    This is cool as I don't currently know many orgs that do this. I guess the next step would be to find other experienced surfers or surf instructors that would be willing to take time to volunteer for your org and help teach the kids that way you don't have your hands too full. Then I think reaching out to local communities and schools to see who's interested would be a good next step.

    I really like this idea! I think a really important step in developing this program will be identifying what demographics would be interested in participating and who could benefit most. I believe it would also be cool to do some group bonding activities with the people who do end up participating to establish the comradery that many surfers enjoy.

    I recently had Jesse Billauer speak to my entrepreneurship class. He was a world champion surfer before breaking his neck while surfing at the age of 17. He still wanted to pursue surfing because he felt that a wave is one place where he feels independence. His Life Rolls On foundation is dedicated to helping disabled individuals surf. Love the idea of bringing surfing to everyone.

    I think this is a really interesting and unique approach. one of the best ways to get people to come together is to have a common interest, and surfing is a great way to go about that!!

Born on Third Base

Born on Third Base by Chuck Collins is a great about that looks at the inequality debate between the rich and poor from the perspective of the one percent. Chuck is a part of the one percent and describes his journey through his life and his struggle with dealing with the privileges that he received from birth. He did not agree with having enough money to not work for the rest of his life and he decided to donate a majority of his wealth. He wanted to live his life to his value and not to the fact that he is very privilege and wealthy. He utilizes his privilege and wealth to start a non-profit that would help the people help fight against inequality. Except most people want this fight to be violent and out of rage towards the wealthy, but he believes that through his organization they can help peacefully facilitate the debate. He helps with this by utilizing his perspective from both sides. This book has helped with my perspective on how each side perceives the other. It is also ...

Job Description of a Sailing Coach

Image
A Day in a Life of a Sailing Coach One of my favorite hobbies and competitive sports is sailing. Most people have an image of a large sail boat with people drinking and wearing boat shoes, when they think sailing. Even though I like to casually sail occasionally. I especially love to race dinghies (small sailboats) competitively. I enjoy sailing so much that I coached at my yacht club for a year and a half. A sailing coach is exactly what it sounds like, a person who teaches sailing. Sailing is a very unique sport to get into and to learn because of the limited access to equipment and coaches a person might not have. At the yacht club where I coached, we provide everything a kid would need to learn to sail. I coached mainly beginner sailors who had almost no experience or not at all. Our goal as coaches, each week, was to have each kid driving and be comfortable in the boat by the end of the week. This is no easy task. There are three descriptions that he...
