I’m currently in the midst of juggling school, writing a paper, falling further behind in readings, navigating some other stuff, work and picking up where I left off after an intense weekend away at the youth retreat — sometimes picking up after just a couple days away feels like picking up after so much longer.
in an e-mail I got from Jay [my prof] today about some of the above, he added these quotes to the end:
“Learning is how children use experience to modify behaviour. Play is how children use behaviour to modify experience”
–Marshall
“Even in the midst of our own struggles, we can offer encouragement. Even during our personal low periods, we can continue to try and be a mentor to those around us. If we are honest about what we are facing, we can offer hope to others that they are not alone.”
–John Wooden
Total resonation.
