New Roads

I have been exposed to new ideas, new thoughts, new environments, and new opportunities. These things may not be new to you or half the people in this world, let alone our country. In fact, these things that I have been exposed to are all related to two things that we all experience or have experienced on a nearly daily basis.

Architecture and Museums

I went to a conference, American Association of Museums (AAM), to be exact. I met exhibit designers, curators, artistic directors, education directors, artifact specialists, historians, researchers, and more. People. All interested in bringing the past to the present and creating a future that is better, stronger, and more sustainable emotionally, intellectually, and physically.

I have a simple goal that I believe will help me to become a small part of this vibrant community. Engage. I want to interact, converse, relate, understand, and explore the world around us. I want to do this with a community that already exists in order to build a better community for tomorrow.

My first steps toward that end have been to:

1. Become a member of AAM
2. Acquire a student version of auto-CAD
3. Send e-mails to the people who I met while attending the conference
4. Keep reading, writing, and creating

I can't wait to see where this new road will take me!
