I saw a TikTok recently that really changed my view on education and learning. I forget the exact quote but it said something along the lines of “learn in good faith, and the grades will come”
So often I find myself obsessing over getting an A and not taking time to enjoy the fact that I am studying what middle school/high school me dreamed of. My younger self would hear about the things I am accomplishing and would be so excited. So that raises the question, if I picked these classes, why should my desire for a 4.0 outweigh letting myself enjoy the learning process and just doing the best I can? Good grades come to those who like and resonate with the material being taught. Maybe instead of focusing on memorization for some topics, emphasizing and spending time on relating the content and deepening my understanding is better. I've found that my chem lecture is so fascinating and just having the opportunity to learn more about the complexity of the world around us is so cool. While reaction rates can be boring, when thinking about it, catalysts have huge biological impacts in our body's daily functioning. Life simply would not be able to do what it does without these reactions. I am learning about details that relate to the reactions that allow me to have the energy to move. Learning becomes more valuable when you don't focus on the destination( a grade) but think about it as a journey.
Lo que observas es un tomate en estado de viviparidad, un fenómeno en el cual las semillas comienzan a germinar dentro del pericarpio del fruto, siempre y cuando las condiciones sean las adecuadas. Las semillas, en este proceso, se nutren directamente del propio tomate. 🍅🌱

EL DINERO NO LO ES TODO: "Puedes comprar una cama, pero no el sueño. Puedes comprar un reloj, pero no el tiempo.
Puedes comprar un libro, pero no la inteligencia.
Puedes comprar una posición, pero no el respeto.
Puedes comprar una medicina, pero no la salud.
Puedes comprar sangre, pero no la vida.
Puedes comprar una casa, pero no un hogar.
Puedes comprar al perro, pero no el movimiento de su cola.
Puedes comprar sexo, pero no el amor...y los ejemplos son interminables.
