So What?

While in school, we may had a teacher that would write on our papers or say to us "So What?" On the surface, these two word may have seem quite rude. These words were meant not to confuse students but to have them dig deeper within. To not only question themselves, but to be able to explain to others their thought process.There are many things that we say and do without giving much thought. We react to something and then quickly respond. When asked why we do the things we do, our answer may be "I don't know" or "I'm not sure". Every moment of our life should be deliberate. Every word and action should have meaning. Know that when we give more thought to who we are and what we do, we have the potential to achieve almost everything. Today, ask yourself "So What?" regarding what you want out of life. How easily can you respond to this question? There are times in life when you need to take a moment and assess where you are and where you are headed. Asking yourself questions is the best way to better understand what is going on within. Be the best student you can be.

Sometimes the path of a student is not as easy as it should be...

(It's funny how the words "So what?" can be interpreted so differently. One of my daughters thought the words were rude and made her upset. While the other daughter said it inspired her to do better. Go figure. How powerful words can be.)
