I have been taught many things in my 16 years of living. Look both ways before crossing the street. Eat your carrots, they'll make your eyesight better. Don't drink too much water before working out (learned that one the hard way). But there's so many things I don't know. I still don't understand globalization (thanks Farr). I don't understand why Ms. Baker is always so sarcastic and smiley, it's scary. I don't understand why racism exists and why humans, even though we are the exact same species, we still feel like we have this sense of entitlement over others. Even towards people of our own race. I don't understand why people downgrade other people's beliefs, and can't just be tolerable towards others decisions, unless it directly affects them in a negative way. I don't understand why there are so many issues in a world, and I get chewed out for coming off as a negative person, when negativity is all around us and I'm emotional about it (I also don't understand why I'm such a hot mess all the time.) I want to understand so many things, and I want to have all the answers. I've always wanted that. I've always cherished knowing something and being educated on a topic, because it's the best feeling in the world when someone asks you something (in a controversial type of way or out of pure confusion) and I can express my beliefs and my thoughts fluently, almost as fluent as I want my writing to be. There are too many things that are too vague or unknown to understand, and it bores be talking about it. Educate yourself on what you're passionate about. And never downgrade someone for doing so.

Yes, an honorable mention! :) I don't know why I'm that way either, but it's a good reminder to bring my most authentic self forward while in front of a class.
