On Being the Change I Wish to See

What is On Being the Change I Wish to See?

On Being the Change I Wish to See is a blog (weblog) about the problems we see all around us every day and the common sense, practical actions individuals can take on their own to change the world. I believe one person can make a difference, and all we have to do is choose something we want to change and act on it to make it happen.

You will find:

• Articles on many topics about the direction the world is taking, from education to war to the environment to politics
• Articles on ways to change some of the things going the wrong direction and get them going in a better direction
• Book reviews
• Suggested reading
• Podcasts of note
• Relevant videos

One thing I feel I need to say right off is I don’t have all the answers and in many cases I’m still trying to figure out the questions. But when I do figure something out or find something wrong, I will do whatever I can to make it better or make it right.

My approach is very practical and down-to-earth, not some pie-in-the-sky, feel-good endeavor.

The world will change whether we choose the direction or not. Let’s make better choices.

Who is Sherri Joubert?

On Being the Change I Wish to See content is written by me, Sherri Joubert, a single mom from Louisiana in the United States. I am a chemist by education and left the chemical industry at the end of 2003 as the result of a job elimination.

My mottoes are be the change that you wish to see in the world by Mahatma Gandhi, and those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.

My ultimate goal is to be debt-free so I can become a real philanthropist. You can follow my journey to debt freedom at Debt Free or Bust.

Since January 2004, I embarked on a path of entrepreneurship, and own and operate an investment advisory business from my home office. Missing science and needing extra income, I started tutoring high school math and science part-time in November 2006. I love working with students and seeing the light bulbs go on when they finally understand a difficult concept.

In April 2007, I decided to learn how to earn at least a part-time income online. The online income path has led to blogging part-time. I’ve always been an avid writer and have kept journals for years before discovering blogging. Now I can write about things I want a large number of people to read and hopefully benefit in the process.

In the meantime, I am in a career transition from operating my investment advisory business full-time to part-time, and seeking a new full-time career, which will likely revolve around offering alternative forms of education to students in my community. Many of my students are “square pegs”, and my goal is to teach them in ways that don’t require that they fit into round holes.

Thanks, and I hope you will find ways you can be the change, too.
