Someone once said

Someone once told me (at the BYU-I campus) that we are here to learn and discover new things we hadn't before. We are PAYING for it. So why not put yourself out there and ask a dumb question? You will be benefit so much more than the person snickering at the question asked. These are notes I took from a  little "learning" question and answer during a Child Development course:

Learn, engage, ask questions, jump in, contribute in some way, find your passions. If you focus all your life on one speck, you will die knowing JUST that one speck. We are responsible for our learning. How open are you to new things? You need to be willing to do the work.
