I know this is really late (Sorry Dr. Borders) but here it is. I would just like to comment on the field trip the other day. I thought it was spectacular! And not to mention getting a breather out of the classroom was rather refreshing also. He really caught me off guard by how he related the bees to the class. "In order to change our surroundings, we must first change ourselves." I love how powerful this statement truly is. What I got out of this was that we are in no way perfect. Not one person is perfect. But if we can all strive to reach perfection, maybe falling a little short will still help promote a change for the better. But still, in order to reach this, we must first look to ourselves and not to others to create this change. It's like the self-help deal only better. You know, the whole "You need to help yourself before you expect others to help you" thing.Well...that's it. Hope you enjoyed.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Gandhi
Yea, i am right there with you. Class completely rocked the other day. I keep thinking back to it, and thinking about the wilderness and finding out who i am. How can we expect to change the world, or in short...stand for something we believe in, if we do not know what we ourselves stand for?
