For some people,
the most important thing they get out of the Dream House may be the
coaching and guidance in planning and completing personal projects; for
others, the experience of co-creating a household with other teenagers and
learning the skills of living on their own or with roommates (cooking,
shopping, negotiating conflicts, etc.).
For still others,
the best thing may be the chance to enjoy the Bay Area without having to
go through the time- and-money-consuming hassle of finding a place to
live, setting up house, and figuring out what’s what.
Other people may
really exploit the house’s own resources—library, garden, computers,
etc. Depending on what’s most important to her, each person will
probably value each of these to some degree, and will benefit in these
ways:
 |
learn (or improve) basic take-care-of-yourself skills—vegetarian
cooking, shopping, cleaning, gardening, breadbaking, sprout growing,
using public transportation
|
|
designing and completing a visionary project
|
|
learning and practicing new communication and conflict resolution
skills that will help you in future romantic relationships,
friendships, shared projects, and house-sharing situations
|
|
working with a local mentor, teacher, or apprentice master to
develop
skills that interest you
|
|
contribute to a great community service project
|
|
enjoy what the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer—museums, street
festivals, great walks, music, dance, sports, classes, all kinds of
events and gatherings….
|
|
make close friends to keep your whole life long. |
