Acumen

I really enjoyed what Seth Godin said about Acumen and it's program. I, myself, am studying to go to medical school and ultimately become a doctor, so when I heard Seth Gordin's advice on not going to medical school I was intrigued. As I heard his argument, I saw that he was right. It is a broken system and there are always going to be doctors in the US. I do not think that we will ever run out.
The number one thing that I love about this organization is that it is made up of people who all want to be there. I think it's so inspiring hearing about people who have traveled halfway across the world to do something for a cause that they believe in.
Overall, I really like the aim and mission of this organization, I believe that it is very worthwhile what they are doing. I like how they encourage failure and being independent and different from others. I hope that I can have the same courage as they do and be able to go halfway around the world for something that I believe in also.
