Constantly Learning
Every single day is an opportunity to learn more about our world by exploring the bounds of our knowledge.
Investigating the information available with the World Wide Web, as well as the multitude of electronic books that libraries have to offer is a great way to expand knowledge of the world. Imaginative stories, critiques of current events, analysis of history, programs for learning languages; all of these resources are readily available through public libraries. Taking initiative into the exploration of knowledge is the first step into a world of wonder.
Practical Learning
Increase of knowledge is not limited to books and classes; every conversation is an chance to learn something new, every assignment at work is a chance to test your skills and abilities. To gain knowledge, a person simply needs to be willing to make the best of their surroundings by making a conscious effort of awareness, Consideration of personal thinking processes may allow better understanding of how your brain uses information; on a larger scale, by paying attention to dynamics of social interaction a person may come to better understand how their society works.
Observation of the system of society becomes especially interesting in foreign environment. The comparison of living in a foreign society creates an enlightened perspective of one's native country. By seeing how people operate in other countries, a greater understanding of humanity may be attained. With this principle in mind, my parents focus on conserving money on material goods so that my sister and I may begin to experience the world outside of our native community. From an early age we would travel around the US, visiting National Parks and monuments. We began to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the world, eventually being even further expanded with international travel.
Beginning with the continental United States, our travels expanded into other North American Countries, followed by journeys into the Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii, Alaska, South America and Europe. Please feel free to explore pictures and summaries of these travels through the pull down menu of this section.
