"at least warrants"? Were you not already a hair clipped sub? 😆

None of your other candidates have this grit, this profound determination, this long term commitment to growth and success.

I will make bold visionary change possible NOW and I won't need time to get things or myself worked out.
Good luck.

I have the resilience that only comes from nearly dying being an alcoholic and addict. I am now 16 years clean & sober. Immense amount of work to not only NOT die but thrive.

I then stayed because of my passion for learning and not because I was expected to, pressured to by parents, or thought that's what I have to do to get a job. Grades and degrees were secondary. Knowledge and connection was paramount.

I have the depth and appreciation for science and education that only comes after dropping out of college as a misguided youth, to later joyfully go back out my own accord and pay to retake every class- because I wanted to learn about evolution because I wasn't allowed to as a child.

Instead, I will illustrate the level I bring to often thrown around terms- with my lived experience.

I have the tenacity that drives someone to travel 3 hours one way to attend their classes in NYC and then teach at Brooklyn college. I did 2-3 hours, each way 4-5 days a week for over 2 years.

This is exceptional for someone so young.

I literally looked up "biological population misunderstood anthropology" the other day for a presentation I had in Thursday and settled on some classic choices including Mayr but I wish I had this!!

I don't do inktober usually but I look forward to connecting during WWM world watercolor month! I do that every year.

I had arthritis by 25 woo hoo

And your neck

You went all over with this one.

This is truly batshit

Same species? Really? An effort to help the numbers? So many questions I don't need answers to.

That's awesome because I went to grade school in NJ and did not learn those things! 🤗
