When I see and say the word “Expand” I see depths,heights and widths taking place in my
knowledge, thinking,creativness and in my character traits.I want holistic knowledge that begins
academically and then flows into mediation and then to application.I want thinking to lead to
exploring more avenues of allowing my long term memory to be just as active in the present
tense as well as the future tense especially when it comes to bring it forth for test time.
Creativity is truly exciting for it opens up Education to a realm of exceeding that your entire
being will enjoy.Just think if you want to remember a great historian-yes you have the
knowledge of that famous being but just think if you decide to become an actor or actress and
act out this famous character what joy you will experience and what concrete knowledge you
will always remember about this famous person.What about a trip to confirm the culture of a
given country.Now this will be an experience that will allow for so much creativity to build up in
you mentally and emotionally. This is just a very small sample of expanding your education .
Expanding your Character is your gold winning goal.This is what will make you successful or it
may cause you not to reach your full potential. Your character defines how you act,how you
interact and how considerate you are to others.
Character plus Academics equals Success
