About Chloe

My name is Chloe Mays.  I am a junior in the International Baccalaureate program at Thornton High School.

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.

A little more about me.  I plan to be a lawyer and hopefully a judge when I grow up.  I have an affinity for the law. Having rules that govern rights and responsibilities makes sense.  As Aristotle said, “The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual.”  Last summer I interned with Chris Yost General Council for Zayo Bandwidth.

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. :-)
