Only being 18, it seems arrogant to say that I have learned much in my life. I hope I can add a few more years to my experience, but so far I feel like I have learned that it is very rare to have one answer to one question. College so far has taught me to question everything, even if the answers are rooted in very strong evidence. What does it hurt to question everything? To gain more experience, knowledge, and a certain love for things? What does it hurt? Nothing, is the answer that I have accepted. Questions can never hurt anyone. Hopefully they won't start to.
I've learned how to crochet, how to be a exceptional scare member of a haunted house, I've learned infant CPR, and I learned that I wear my heart on my sleeve.
In an academic prospective, I learned how to find the length of a hypotenuse, how to read, like actually READ, how to sing, how to apply for a loan, and how to listen to people.
All of this, no matter how big or small, no matter how important it may be to a certain person, has enabled me to get good grade, to produce lasting relationships, to quietly remind myself to quit thinking I have found the perfect person for me, when really they couldn't be the farthest thing from it.
Learning all of this, has attributed to parents, my friends, my sisters, my soon to be boyfriend :) and to everyone else I meet. We give each other the ability to learn, and I think that that fact in itself is beautiful. Imagine just how much learning we can pass on to each other. Imagine what we could do with all of this knowledge and how much better our relationships with people would be. I feel like I would be much happier.
