Statement of Intent
In the second day of team work at The Glass Files with Nikki and Sarah, we talked about writing a collective statement of Intent. The themes converged on doing what you love, helping others, being good to the planet as independently-minded successful entrepreneurs.
Read below the statements from the Summer Youth 2020 marketing team:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was like, somewhat cringe-worthy at the moment, But an older sibling of mines work as a Doorman while attending college.
About 2-3 weeks ago, he told me, Sitting there doing nothing really makes you think about your life, and to do what you love, and not just aim for money.
My sibling would always tell me I was wasting my time. His new response was a full 180 turn. I used to draw all the time, so in a way, I knew where he was coming from.
I put in a lot of work to improve how I draw, my endurance and such, It's feels nice to have support from a family member.
- Mamadou Sillah
