We sit in class and "learn" We "learn" how to write a paper, or how to calculate the distance from the sun, or that "datum" -is the singular of data. But we never learn how to pull ourselves off the floor, or how to write a resume to pay off those college loans, or how to simply love yourself. Fill my head with mindless facts and I will regurgitate them back to you. Tell me to love myself, be my self, and be financially secure, only then will I stare blankly at you and say "How?"
