About Chloe

My name is Chloe Mays.  I am a freshman at University of Chicago graduating in 2015.

I am writing as the Generation Y blogger.  According to Strauss and Howe, my generation, born between 1982-2001, are “The Heros (Civics)”.

The Heros are raised as increasingly protected youth following the spiritual event and come of age during the secular event. Their’s is the role of pillar of society.  They become powerful midlifers and develop society in their image and build its institutions.  As elders they come under attack by the midlife Idealist after the next spiritual event.

Personality: good youth, confident elders, grand, powerful, rational and competent but maybe insensitive.

Examples of my generation in American History include:

  • Revolutionary Cycle (Republican): Many of Nathan Hale’s contemporary civics, who came of age during the American Revolution, went on to found a great democracy and erected the institutions upon which it stood. When he gave his life for the public good, spying behind British lines, legend says he told his captors he regretted having only one life to give. This young Yale graduate made a difference, even though he died at the tender age of 21.
    cohorts: Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Robert Fulton
  • Civil War Cycle:(no civic personalities developed)
  • World War Cycle (GIs): John Kennedy
    cohorts: Ronald Reagan, Walt Disney, John Wayne
  • Present Cycle (Millennials): Jessica Dubroff
    cohorts: Jessica McClure, Chloe Mays

It’s exciting to be part of this generation and I hope this blog will bring GenY (millennials) together so that we prove equal to our purported place in history.

I’m pretty busy, as you’ll see from my blog and am involved or have been involved in the following organizations.

    Chloe, I look forward to your future as a judge. You seem bright, and caring, and fair-minded, and I hope you hold on to those qualities as you move through your career. The world needs more people in positions like that who are able to see all sides of an issue and understand them on an empathetic level. I wish you the best. :-)

    I must express appreciation to the writer just for bailing me out of this type of circumstance. After browsing throughout the the net and seeing things which were not productive, I assumed my life was over. Living without the presence of strategies to the issues you’ve solved by means of the blog post is a crucial case, and the ones which could have in a negative way damaged my career if I had not discovered your blog post. Your skills and kindness in taking care of all areas was tremendous. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t encountered such a thing like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your expert and effective guide. I won’t be reluctant to refer the blog to any individual who will need counselling about this subject matter.
