I have decided to create a new blog to record one lesson that I learn from each day. For the first time in my life, I am no longer an official "student" yet I am not ready to give up on learning. I decided to put to the test the old manta "you learn something new every day" by each day recording one new thing that I learned from the previous 24 hours. It could be from a book, a television show, an experience, or the back of a box of cereal. It could be something I learned by specifically seeking out to get knowledge on a topic, something that fell into my lap, or something that I didn't even realize I learned until I took the time to reflect. It could be something that I learned about history, the world, current affairs, society, my friends, or myself. One lesson per one day for one year.
Why am I doing this?
I love to write. I love to learn. I love to document moments of my life. I love to share stories and important parts of my life with others. Is there really a reason not to?
