Quote

In high school one of my teachers always had on the white board in big block letters..

SELF ESTEEM IS EARNED

I don't know if I have ever fully understood or grasped this concept, however, I feel now I understand it more than I have in the past. Feeling good about yourself, I feed, has connections to many parts of your life. Right now I am feeling more in control and balanced, even though I am busy and my schedule is sometimes hectic. This term I am putting more effort into being organized, eating properly and being active. Even though it has only been two weeks of fitness classes, I am already feel the positive benefits of having activity be a part of my schedule. I am using google calendars and a day timer to keep track of my time, due dates and dates with people. Being organized has really freed up time for critical parts of my life that in the past have been cut out.

Never let your education get in the way of your learning.

This is a quote from a prof. I have this term, and I feel that it helps to sum up the importance of life outside of school and knowing that learning is more important than education. I hope that in my life I am always learning.
