Curiosity

I just watched the video by Seth Grodin. This is just what I needed to hear as I was getting frustrated with Mapbuilder. I do sometimes get little feelings like why can't I just stay where I am. I am like one of the people in the middle that want to keep things the way they are sometimes and not move ahead so fast. This was an inspiring little clip to listen to and I need to remind myself to keep on listening to things like this. It opens whole new worlds and hope for change where it's needed.
I always want to support our educational systems. My parents were involved in the educational system and I always felt proud of them for it. Part of why I went into my field was to continue to learn and educate myself. But Seth is right, a lot of our curiosity does get squelched along the way. Being curious and open to new ideas and being able to help other people with what you learn is the way to go. (Helping people was the other part of why I went into this field.)

Project Play has been a really great experience. I have learned so much and there is still so much to learn. I want to keep up by exploring the optional assignments that I haven't been able to get to yet. I'm really sorry that I didn't sign up for first semester but I will continue to catch up with the things that I've missed. I really appreciate all that's been put into this program. I feel like I'm taking baby steps into this new world, becoming inspired and losing my fear. I feel that soon I will get to the point and may have already started to be where I'm comfortable enough to start realizing that yes I can use what I've learned to think outside the box as far as my daily work.
