For one, he's working with the Washington chapter of Obama for America, and recently had his first interview published on their site. His next interview should be up soon (he's working on it now), he interviewed one of his teachers. I'll put up a link to it when it's posted, it's a really powerful piece. Tomorrow he will be covering (and live tweeting) the Obama For American Regional Team Convention (to help organize the volunteers).

He's also working with his high school GSA chapter, helping them organize the Day of Silence both at his school and at the district level (!!!).
In his spare time he is helping to launch an anti-discrimination campaign in the district. He's meeting with various junior high principal's over the next week to start GSA chapters at that level. Next week he's speaking at a staff meeting at his school to inform them of plans for their Day of Silence as well as meeting with the other high school organizers in the district so they can all be on the same page.
As a personal request from his principal (who is seriously impressed with him these days), he'll be attending a school board lunch as a reporter, to write a story for his high school paper.
Oh, and we are getting college acceptance letters in, he's prepping for his IB tests in May, and trying to keep up on his daily studies.
So, yeah.
That's an impressive, crazy cool, overwhelming to-do list for an eighteen year old.
My agenda for tomorrow? Run a 5K in the morning. Drink beer after. Nap. Go to the Sounders season opener. Drink more beer.
Have a good weekend!
