<p>that’s exactly what i’ve been hearing. and oddly enough, that’s exactly what i want to hear!</p>
<p>This is an excerpt from something i wrote in reflection after my last visit there.
How do you think they’d fancy this?</p>
<p>So what do I want from a college education? I want to have the knowledge and resources and wisdom to transform myself from one of the naysayers to one of the people who are part of the solution: one of the people who does not just call for the obvious, gut-reaction, immediate response like the type we see so much of today in today’s political activism and youth movements, but someone who has the wisdom, resources, and the ability to make the changes our world needs. I don’t want to come out of college and become Bono, calling out to the world for action, money, and will while not having enough of an idea how to utilise them. I want to come out of college and be able to truly understand the world’s problems, understand the consequences of our efforts to resolve them, and couple my wisdom and reason with the passion that exists in the world to make it a better place.</p>
