youngactivist's blog

Hello to everyone in the Blog for Oregon community! As a new member, I wanted to lay out a few of the thoughts that led me to join your merry little band.

First off -- being raised in a political family, I've always had a strong interest in current events and political news. However, I never thought of having a career in activism or politics until I started working with student groups at the University of Oregon. Those experiences, along with the realities of Life After College, made me realize that my heart truly lies with working to make my community, my nation, a better place to live, work and love for everyone who calls it home.
