Continuing my education

Today I went to ASU and got my books. I had 15 books and I still needed to get one more! HoLy CoW!! I will be VERY busy this fall. I am really excited to be in the Education Program at ASU. Here are some words by President Hinckley that I love about education.

You are moving into the most competitive age the world has ever known. All around you is competition. You need all the education you can get. Sacrifice a car; sacrifice anything that is needed to be sacrificed to qualify yourselves to do the work of the world. That world will in large measure pay you what it thinks you are worth, and your worth will increase as you gain education and proficiency in your chosen field. You belong to a church that teaches the importance of education. You have a mandate from the Lord to educate your minds and your hearts and your hands.

I need to study hard and understand the things that I am learning in my classes! I need to ask a lot of questions! I hope that I can continue to do well in school and work on becoming a great teacher because great teachers inspire!

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William Arthur Ward
