A new beginning…
Posted by Andrew under: Exhortation .
Welcome! This is the new and improve adventures of Andrew Lee at andrewlee.com. I’m happy to say that the old website has been retired. I’ve cribbed from the last post from the old website, but here’s the gist…
A lot has happened since then, but perhaps the most important is that I have moved my blog over to andrewlee.com (woot!). To name a few of the interesting things that have occurred:
- I graduated CMC.
- I’ve chosen to defer my Truman Scholarship (for up to 4-5 years). Unlike the rest of my fantastic cohort (the Facebook-Youtube Generation), I am not going straight to graduate school (although the exciting world of public service and water law still eagerly awaits me).
- Instead, I am now a web entreprenuer (that sounds really cool!) in Washington DC. After the media coverage of Fantasy Congress in the NYTimes, NBC, NPR, and others, we received calls from textbook publishers and news organizations to partner, so I’ve placed my scholarship and grad school plans on hold.
- What’s it like? We have a house in Washington D.C., found all of our furniture on Craig’s List (including a fantastic white board for $40 from Burtonsville, MD). It’s tough. Owning a small business is not easy. Working with partners puts you at the top of your game and also the worst of your game. There are many naysayers, but when you’re young, pursuing the vision is the most important thing.
- Why are you doing it? Simple. It’s a new experience. I have a dream of changing the world of politics through technology and I think we can do it.
As the great Albus Dumbledore once said, “Soon we must all make the choice between what is right and what is easy.” I think this choice is the right one and it’s gonna be a great adventure.
This blog will still have the same crazy hijinks, interesting observations, and loads of advice (and guides for stuff).

Congratulations to the newly grad!! You have reached one of your milestones.
Fantasy Congress is a great success and a huge achievement. What a great way to learn “From Vision to Success”. It taught you a lot of entreprenuership.
Being a Rhodes Scholar Finalist and Truman Scholar, I can see you, Andrew, having “exceptional leadership potential who are committed to careers in government, the nonprofit or advocacy sectors, education or elsewhere in the public service”. I wish to see you in the near future to make much bigger impact to our country, much bigger than Fantasy Congress.
Best Wishes to you, a bright and ambitious young man. May you dreams come true!!

Thanks for the continued love and support Aunt Wen. Wow. You’re the first person to comment on my newly minted blog. I must say that you’re way ahead of the times when you can comment so quickly.
