Reschool Yourself

At the age of 28, Melia Dicker went back to kindergarten. She needed to get her life back on track, and she wanted to start over from the very beginning. Over several months, she repeated her education, from kindergarten to college. Melia spent the months that followed learning how to grow up. She's still learning. The Reschool Yourself site is a place for Melia to tell her story of education, and for others to tell theirs: experiences past and present, and a vision for how it could look in the future.
