A grown-up returns to kindergarten in pursuit of learning and happiness
If you have feedback, suggestions, or questions about Reschool Yourself, I’d love to hear from you. Write me at melia@reschoolyourself.com or leave a comment below.
Reschool Yourself is a year-long exploration of how school shaped the person I became, and how I decide to educate myself from now on. This fall I'm returning to my old classrooms week by week, to understand how school influenced my identity and to regain the happiness and creativity of childhood. In the spring I'll pursue learning opportunities in the U.S. and abroad to become as autonomous as possible. I'll share my experiences of "reschooling" and personal development through this website and provide a forum for readers of all ages to exchange their own. This site is a place to tell our stories about education: our experiences past and present, and our vision for future generations.

Melia,
The world continues to get smaller. Last week a friend I know through Interplay (interplay.org) highly recommended your website as I try to figure out how to get where I’m going on my path for a livelihood that is fueled by my creativity. Feeling inspired and more connected to a sense of hope seeing what you are doing. More power to you! -Beandrea

I wanted to recommend some books for you!
I have recently finished reading “A Mind at a Time” by Mel Levine, and also “Good to Great” and “Built to Last” by James C. Collins. I think you would enjoy them and their widespread applicability across a variety of projects.
I can’t believe how much you’ve done since you first told me about this project! So creative and inspiring.
We’ll have to catch up soon.
Michelle
