Congratulations to Matthew Reichbach, 2006 Blogging for Progress Scholar.
- Hometown: Rio Rancho, New Mexico
- Current school: Central New Mexico Community College
- Major: Journalism
- Career goals: To work for a newspaper or magazine that covers news and politics. Actually the best of all scenarios would be working for a high-profile website that covers politics.
- Favorite Quote: There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.-Victor Hugo (also used by Saul Williams in "Talk to Strangers")
- Who inspires you to be a great person?: I know that it sounds trite and like the stock answer, but it has to be my parents. While saying they inspire me to be a great person makes it sound like I'm calling myself a great person (isn't that a bit egotistical and Bill O'Reillyish?), they truly do inspire be to be a better person. And ultimately, isn't that all you can try to do -- be a better person?
