Weekly Blog: Week 18

This concludes the fall semester. And what a learning experience this semester has been. The significant part is, though, that this year I've learned more than ever, but not just in the classroom or in history books. Every class is becoming relative to another; every discussion seems it could continue on for hours, and that we have to end them so suddenly each day. I've noticed the way classmates have striven to reach their goals of being accepted into their dream schools, but along the way, they inspire other classmates to prosper. I have had a great motivation to expand my knowledge and further my thinking, and it's come from novels that I've actually enjoyed, articles and poems that we've dissected, and peers whose ambitious minds and determined attitudes have guided my decisions to push forward. While everyone thinks at some point that he is incompetent, or that her inability to decide what she wants will be her Achilles heel, it is important that we band together and realize that the journey will lead us to becoming ourselves.
