What should your role be in creating a more equitable, tolerant and critical thinking society? How does effective reading, healthy group discussion & debate help us all?
I figured out how to get good grades early on, and often found myself playing to the test. I got so good at it. Everyone around me was proud of me, it just felt good, and I kept going. When it came to doing my assigned readings, I very often found shortcuts. I relentlessly focused on "academic achievement", at the cost of focusing on learning and of finding my calling.
