On self-reliance pt 2

• “..and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.”
  - you never know what you can do or what you’re capable of until you have tried

• “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best”
   - you are most satisfied and happy when you have gave your all into something that you’ve worked hard on

• What is it that makes children so courageous and parents so afraid?

This made me think about all different things like truly made me think. Emerson is basically just talking about man kind and different traits about them but to be honest I can’t really describe how I see it. I see it as different quotes that mean something important and that goes for everyone and not just men.

I arrived at school with many goals, which were to succeed in all my classes, maintain a 3.0 or higher, and get back to being involved.      When Dr. Preston first told the class that our two options were to do book work or an online course. I was confused because after that, he left the classroom and left it up to our class to decide. That was the first time I have ever had a teacher do that. The whole class felt the same as I did, but we soon came to an agreement that we do the online course.
