| The Survivor! |
When I look at this Blue Agave Cactus, I see a survivor. It came, as a 4 inch tall plant, from a neighbor who was "weeding" it from his garden. My husband brought it home, we planted it about a year ago, and now it's nearly 2 feet tall, sprouting babies of it's own.
How does this relate to me? I want to be like the Agave! I want to grow as I journey through my Master's program at Full Sail University. I am challenged and excited by the new learning I am experiencing, even though it may often take me a few attempts to get it right. I want to be able to say to my children and students, "Look at what I've been able to accomplish!"
In this program, I am being challenged to step outside of my comfort zone and explore my unexplored learning styles. This blog is an example of that. I have never willingly read any blogs, and certainly didn't think I'd be creating one! Other challenges have included working in groups to accomplish tasks - yes, I am one of those people who prefers to work independently, but have actually enjoyed the collaboration, feedback, and support of my peers.
Paula,
ReplyDeleteI respect your candor and your commitment to reaching new levels of education and expanding your comfort zone. That takes courage and I think you are already becoming that Agave :) Enjoy every step I look forward to sharing it with you.
Beautiful site. The blue color was very calming. Nice work and I loved the Agave comparison.
