“Learning is not confined to formal classrooms. As college students, we are fortunate to have access to limitless resources and opportunities for growth and education. I think that we can begin to take advantage of these opportunities by identifying our gaps in knowledge. We can then target those gaps and identify how we can work to close them. The path to self-improvement starts with self-awareness. Identifying areas where you would like to invest more time can be very rewarding. Similar to how you dedicate time to training your body at the gym, you have the power to train your mind in disciplines that you are passionate about.
Imagine dedicating a Friday night of your week to educating yourself on a subject that has always piqued your curiosity. When you have completed all of your assignments and find that you have some free time, it can be very rewarding to dive into articles, books, or videos that explain topics that intrigue you. By the end of the school year, you will have amassed a wealth of knowledge. Taking this proactive approach to self-education not only enriches your life but also unlocks doors to personal and professional opportunities. By investing in your education during those moments of free time, you empower yourself to achieve your goals and broaden your horizons.”
