High School, College, and Graduate Students:
-In which of these life stages (high school, college, or graduate career) did you learn the most important lesson and have the best experience?
I would say college for the lesson but high school for the best experiences.
-What is the most important lesson that you have learned from your high school, college, or graduate experience?
The most important thing that I learned in high school was most guys are dogs and they lie. Now before people get all hot under the collar, I am saying this from a good place. Most of my good friends in high school were guys, so I got to see them up close and up my game accordingly. I also got a great sense of community and what it means to serve. College...I learned that almost everybody that claims to have your back is only aiming to shoot you in it, trust and I would probably say learning that some things you can control. Others, you have to give to God.
-Has this lesson made you stronger, if so, how?
Everything happens for a reason. I learned how to be a better friend and how to even trust myself. I wouldn't trade the people or the experiences.
-How do you plan to make a difference (in your life, the lives of others, or both) with what you have learned?
I am trying to be less selfish and more considerate to people. I understand that there is a time and place for every battle to be fought...you have to pick them wisely. everything is not a discussion and you HAVE to know when to walk away. I am beginning to trust myself more...my thoughts, my spirit and my own intelligence.
