It Doesn't End There

When I graduated from college I was so relieved that it was over, I thought it meant: no more studying, not much stress, and all I needed to do was just find a job and work. One year post graduation, I see that this is not true. I finally understand that school was just a way to teach you how to excel yourself and be productive. I realize there is a lot more I need to to learn in order to pursue my career. Lately, I find myself hungry for knowledge. This week I started a Putonghua and jewelry making class, and damn it feels good to be in a class room again. It is truly amazing how much you can learn in just one to two hours. Reading is such a great way to educate yourself. The library is free, there are books on every topic imaginable, and you can read at your own pace. The newspaper is such a great resource that we have, nowadays there's just so much happening all over the world, we must keep up! I am just glad that the newspaper here is not so shallow and bias like the OC register...seriously, what the hell kind of news is in that newspaper?! Nothing that is useful to anyone that wants to be educated.

Recently, I saw for myself that we must continue educating ourselves from as long as we live. Change is always happening and in order to be successful we must keep it. So similar to evolution in a way.
