Day 13 of 30 Thankful Days

Day 13: I'm grateful for the education I've been able to obtain and the opportunities I have to continue to learn.

In detail:

Honestly, sometimes I forget how much school I've actually gone to and how many different things I've learned.

All the different subjects I studied in K-12:
The standard English, history, science, math.  And the extras:  3 years of art, technical drawing, yearbook, speech and debate, newspaper, cooking, 4 years of German, 2 years of French, psychology, drama.  

And then there's college:
2 years of in depth world history, statistics, 1 year of Italian, 1 quarter of French lit, world music, the Beatles, gospel choir, logic, BA in Linguistics, BA in Human Development, MA in Education.

It kind of amazes me when I think about the variety of things I've studied and learned.  And while I don't claim to remember everything I've learned, I remember more than I would have expected given that I don't use most of it on a regular basis.

I'm also grateful for the opportunities I have to continue to study and learn new things, in my career and my personal life.  

There is so much knowledge in the world and I get a little thrill of excitement when I realize that so much of it is available to me.
