In 2020, Where Will I Be?

In 2020, when Alchemy calls me, where will I be? When Alchemy calls me in 2020, I plan to be a Marine Biologist training dolphins every day. I will give people the experience of a life time. When they touch the dolphin, they will gasp because of the silkiness of the dolphin's blubber (Like I did). I will be in salt water all day and come home smelling like fish knowing that I completed my job. When you love your job, you feel like you have been playing all day instead of working and you know…

I am shadowing the women who run Susan G.Komen for the Cure. I chose to shadow these women because I want to help cure cancer when I get older. Cancer took my dog away from me two days after Christmas, so now I truly want to be able to cure it. I am shadowing the women by going on their website at least once every week and checking their updates.

Imagine- 1: Imagine your future self.

I've been thinking this past months, what will I become in ten, twenty or maybe thirty years from today, but since the objective ask me to imagine my ten years me and what would I become that time I would focus on that first. So basically, my dream is to become a person that my family can be proud of. In the other hand I also think that it would be a meaningless if only my family knows that I'm doing something good. I think that it will be better if I can also help other people from their…

Act- 1: Choose a hero to shadow:

For this task, I need to choose a "Hero" that had a contribution to do something helpful for other people. In this case after I search google for a while I finally found a hero that I think made a good contribution to the community that he helped. His name is Prigi Arisandi. His basic interest is in saving the Surabaya river.

Their job is to find out valuable information about the river, for example, how badly polluted is the river, what industries are polluting the river etc. Then he…

Learn-1: The Secret code of Innovation:

Innovator means that someone can make something useful to the community from limited and

reusable material.

After I read that sentence I think I’m going to try to act by following this word, “Creating

“transparent” technologies”. Transparent technologies means that, we make some technology

that not only useful and cheap for the community but also easily understand by the community.

For example I could make something like a cooker from their limited resources. This…

Social innovation

I chose to follow Jason Shah who is the founder of ineedapencil.com. His website helps low-budget income students in the US prepare for the SAT and prepare for college. I think this is awesome because I come from a school in Charlotte, North Carolina where a lot of students have very little money and very little drive for college. I think that it would be awesome to help kids from my community do good on the SAT and get into college. I contacted Mr. Shah's company via email but have not yet…

Social innovation

I like the secret, "Innovation (often) comes from constraint (If you’ve got very few resources, you’re forced to be very creative in using and reusing them.)" In the Western world we have access to so many resources and we don't think about what it would be like if we couldn't easily get things like water. It would be interesting to see what we would do if water wasn't easiy attained and how different our society would be as a wh***.

What a great idea! This project has been in service to developing countries since 1991. The staff at Hippo Water Roller have done a great job at using their exposure to technology to help those who are less fortunate. It is hard for me to imagine not having running water. To think of marching to and from a watering h*** carrying your entire water supply back to your home with you. The Hippo Roller has aided this daily chore by relieving any potential head, neck or spine injuries due to the…

Act 1

I selected Maria Rodriquez from Guatemala as my social innovation hero. She founded Byoearth, a project that trains farmers to raise worms. By introducing worms into biodegradable soil, you improve aeration and water retention and create an organic fertilizer.

I "liked" byoearth on Facebook, so I can follow the organization. I also sent Ms. Rodriguez a "friend request" and a message asking her about her inspiration for starting this organization.

Hmmm, tough decision. I spent a lot of time trying to decide who to follow, which was great. There were so many people I learned about and maybe still several I will try to follow to learn even more.

For now I'm starting with John Wood, co-founder of Room to Read. I love the focus on education and gender equality for children. I think in order to really make a difference in the world we need to empower our youth! I don't see John on Facebook but following him on Twitter and reading…

Talking and Listening in Healthcare IT

For my Learn1 secret I chose, "Talk to the people who have the problem – and LISTEN to what they have to say." I work in Healthcare IT and often find that the clinical staff and the IT professionals speak completely different languages. What is important to one group is sometimes overlooked by the other, and though both are striving to solve the same problem, their approaches may conflict. It is imperative for me to listen to both parties as they describe their problems and needs and work…
