Some of the responses were really inspirational such as “I want to live”, “I want to cure cancer”, “I want to see my mom one last time”, etc, and some of them were silly like “I want to kiss a shark”, “I want to live on the edge”, “I want to marry James Aldean”, and things like that. She covered the entire building in chalkboards and wrote “Before I die” really large in the upper left hand corner and then wrote “I want to _” over and over so that people could fill in the blank with whatever they choose. They are usually the target of graffiti, so she wanted to make the buildings into something useful and productive to society. She lives in New Orleans and there’s dozens of abandoned houses and buildings in her area. She did a TED Talk on a dream board that she did herself. We got our inspiration from a woman named Candy Chang. Our dream board was pretty small compared to some others, but it was definitely just as effective. It’s really amazing what some people hope to do and it gives you an insight into their personalities. The fun part about a dream board is besides writing your own goal, you can see everyone else’s. For those of you who don’t know what a dream board is, it’s basically a giant chalkboard that has “Before I die…” written on it and everyone and anyone can come and write what their goals and aspirations are before they pass. It was extremely successful and rewarding and I’m gleaming with joy. Well, we did it! Some of you probably saw it outside of the HUB today actually. So I mentioned in one of my earlier posts about a club I’m involved with called Go Change Move and how we wanted to do a dream board.
