Abigail Adams

"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for
with ardor and attended to with diligence."

- Abigail Adams
(former first lady)

This quote said by Abigail Adams, is one that strikes us on an academic level. I think what this quote means is, we should not just expect to learn, but have the determination to seek what we learn and understand it. Also to be wise about it,
such as, since we are in college, we make decisions based on our major right? Well, what we learn should apply to our interests, so being wise about which direction of learning to take is important, because in the end, the outcome is going to be based on the decisions we make. So I think with this in mind learning in our EN-100 class takes determination and diligence.
*sorry everyone, I do not have a picture, there seems to be something blocking me from putting up one. But she is the wife of former president of the United States, John Adams.
