Yesterday, freshman McConnell Scholars had a "liberal education luncheon" with Dr. Gregg. We discussed readings by Plato and Schall. I left the seminar with an understanding of the difference between training for a job versus training for an education. Many colleges just give students a training to go out and get a job, but as Scholars we strive to not only get training, but also an actual education. We discussed the importance of having self-discipline and taking our education into our own hands. Though our talk was cut short because of time constraints and finals, I felt as if there is so much more that I can do to really take charge of my education. So hopefully over Christmas break I will pick up a challenging read, discuss Plato with a friend, or just take some quiet time to really think about what I have learned this semester. As always Merry Christmas and GO CARDS!
