ISSUE 04
As we think about the future with the New Year, let's consider an active thought experiment. Imagine yourself 100 days from now. Picture the person you want to be, how you want to feel, and the things you want to have achieved. Then, ask yourself, "What can I do in the next 100 days to move toward this reality?"
The choices we make and the paths we pursue shape our future and determine the person we become and the life we live, obviously. But when we stop and think about the fact that we will be here in 100 days, we can start to think about what we fill these days with. We must make intentional decisions toward our goals and aspirations, and act on those decisions and opportunities that align with our vision of the future.
At Spawn, we offer programs that provide students with valuable skills, experiences, and connections to help them achieve their aspirations. Applications for our Spawn Studio and Spawn Fellowship programs close this Sunday, January 15.
