Quick Starter:August 25

Without trying to sound to sappy I would say the most important thing to me is my family. I would say that my family would be at the top because even though you may not get along with or agree with everything your family says you can still learn somethings about the world through them and make your own decisions based on the experiences your family went through. Another thing about family is that they can give you a vision of how you want to see yourself in life based on the choices they made for example your mom did x,y,and z and now she is a world renowned brain surgeon do I want to follow in my family's footsteps or give myself a different ending for better or for worse.

  1. I thought it was an interesting view to put on the education system and how it is similar to a factory.
  2.  I was surprised to here that as you traveled East the education system became more lax I would have expect the opposite because of the schools there like Harvard.
  3. I agreed when they talked about how everyone is herded into these classrooms based on age and not academic level.

Since I heard this talk before I thought I would feel indifferent about this talk, but when I listened to it again I caught a few things like the comparison to school and a factory.
