This course ultimately gave me the ability to interpret and understand the world and the reality that I live in. What challenged me to stretch…

Over this lesson my beliefs that education's purpose was to get you into a good college have been corrected. I now believe that the purpose of education is to make you the best person possible for society as a whole.

The purpose of a college education is to prepare you to take your place in the economy, prepare you for a full life and for lifelong learning, and to prepare you to be a Christian leader throughout the rest of your life.

Did you ever wonder what your purpose of living was? My philosophy has been to live life to the fullest with purpose, strength, and meaning without fear or judgement; to be involved in as much as one can.
