Melia Dicker

I discovered Melia and her project to reschool herself in the Fall 2009 issue of Yes! Magazine.  (Awesome mag, by the way…will post on them another day.)

Here’s a brief note about Melia’s one-woman project in her own words from her blog: reschoolyourself.com.

At the age of 28, I went back to kindergarten. I needed to get my life back on track, and I wanted to start over from the very beginning.  Over several months, I repeated my education, from kindergarten to college. I spent the months that followed learning how to grow up. I’m still learning.

Melia discovered the ways that her childhood education had defined her, and then went on to learn all the things that education didn’t teach her–things that she feels are essential to becoming a vibrant, engaged member of a community.

So awesome.
