Blog #9

I'd like to start this blog by saying the brooks article and graham's articles are very interesting. Both showing us how it's not about us it's about others. What I gained from our conversation in class is I learned a lot of different things about both articles, I learned a lot from others talking about their topics and everyone's topics were very interesting. I'm going to use Barbara graham's article and David brooks "It's not about you" like I said earlier both articles show us it's not about us it's about others and we need to be able to think about others before ourselves. What was interesting to me was that brooks and graham's articles have that special connection where they both connect in that special way but still have their differences. When we had this round table discussion in class it was nice to hear new meanings for important facts in both articles, I wasn't expecting to learn so much more. Having that discussion really helps me and others deepen a understanding for these articles that we're getting getting into. I mean without them we wouldn't learn anything besides what we know and what we know and what we have read.

To be honest abstract and concrete ideas, I didn't really understand them at first but now that went into a more. Discussion of them both it has allowed me to realize what I knew and what I didn't I'm so glad that we have these discussions in class. College is all about talking and learning, and finding out new things and getting to know and learn new things from new people. If it's hard to give up like graham did in her article never give up keep going and put more work into it and try harder. Failure is just a way of giving up but, succeeding is a way of working hard and succeeding. When you go to college it's all about starting a new life and having new opportunities, and just enjoying a new part of life and have more freedom and just live your life to the fullest. Yet we learn everyday that we take on new challenges and get new opportunities and follow your career of choice and make something of yourself. When I finish college I plan on making something of myself, planning on being a pediatrician and helping kids fill better about their selves and helping other lives and making other lives better.
