So About That…

If you’re reading this, you should know that I’m kinda a big deal. You might be wondering what has gotten into me to make such a blunt and almost cocky statement. Well, here’s the reason why…I’ve come to the realization that I’m human. Not only am I human, but more specifically, I’m Jeremy Boedigheimer, a young man who is engulfed in a passion not only to change the world but to be that change. As I strive to release compassion and love into the world, I discover the world transforming me. Self-reflection has revealed many impurities in me but also the treasures that reside within my soul.

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I’ve earned one more year of life experience and I’m ready to face and accept the new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. To accomplish this, I need a solid grasp of my foundation and the ability to balance what life throws my way. Incorporating Yoga into my life is really helping me do this. Instead of stressing where my next paycheck comes from or how I’m going to make ends meet, I’m learning to patiently relax. With that said, I would like to share with you some of the major life decisions I’ve been considering…

While traveling is one of the most important passions in my life, I’m going to divert my energy towards focusing on getting my feet off the ground. I need to hone in on my professional skills and begin to create a future for me. That is why I’ve decided to join the military service as a Reserve Officer. Committing up to six years of service will provide me with the technical skills to actively engage in the civilian world by providing a means to pursuing a graduate education as well as further developing my leadership potential. I’m also applying to Teach for America. I see quality education as the key towards making a positive impact on not only our American culture but on the rest of the world.
