It's really exciting to think about being an architect of change. In fact, it can be overwhelming. How do I define being an architect of change? Well, I define it by doing something proactively and positively to make a difference! And, I think deep down inside, we're all architects!
We generally don't think about all the ways that we make positive change everyday -- but in fact we do! How? Well, for me, it's all about making a difference to college students and helping them find the leaders inside them. I know that through my work I'll be sending young women and men out to improve their communities, create new and exciting opportunities for others less fortunate than them, lead with purpose and integrity and just plain make a difference.
I love thinking about being an architect of change. Architects create beautiful, significant structures for others -- so what will you create?

How will I discover my passions? What is my story?
So, how will I discover my passions? Every time I hear, read or watch someone talking about their passions -- I think about the same thing! (Maybe that's why I assigned this blog topic...) and since Tom Patterson talked to us about the importance of really knowing about ourselves and following our passions, I think it's a great time to think about what is really meaningful to us.
Everyday I am seeking out my passions, one of which is leadership. I discover this every single day through constant work with students and watching students "get it". For me, a major passion in my life is helping others find their passion. Seeing someone have an "aha" moment as they say, or discovering something new about themselves -- such as a quality, talent or skill is so exciting to me! Through my work in leadership, I get to witness that happen everyday.
I will continue to discover my passions by constantly educating myself and seeking out new information, resources and people. I hope that others will help me in this journey! I am so excited to work with the 2008-2009 Blueprints students to develop passions and create real social change.
You can change the world. You can be an architect of change.
