Learn With Pride

MY TWO CENTS ON EDUCATION

23
Learn With Pride

Your education is one thing that no one can take away from you. I believe it is of great value, specific to who we are. What we know, how we learn, and our experiences that challenged us, shape who we become. In the lecture hall, in our job field, in our personal challenges, there is always a chance to learn. However, it is easy for us to get in the zone of school being something to simply check off our list everyday. Whether we remember it or not, learning is a privilege. The benefits of learning are sweet when you know you have worked hard for what you have earned. Putting in true effort to accomplish a goal is an experience that cannot be demeaned.

Do it for yourself.

Put in the work and effort to be better because you want to be! As a result, others will benefit from your knowledge and experiences. Therefore use them wisely! What we learn in school, is teaching us how to be professionals post grad. What we learn about others and ourselves outside of the classroom, is teaching us to be personable. For knowledge to be fruitful, wisdom is required. Use what you know, it is specific to you; as it affects how you view things. No one can be you better than you.

I’m encouraging each of us to be intentional with learning, lean into it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
