~:[CH6 - Day 312]:~ A Greater Understanding

I think one of the greatest things a person can do is to enrich themselves by engage themselves with another culture. Not simply visiting another country or eating its cuisine, but to truly learn about and appreciate the culture. While I have a long way to go, I think my ability to spend the time to truly learn as much as possible has helped me gain a greater understanding of the culture and slowly, I have picked up on the language. As I sat down in the weight room, making this sign, I guess I realized that it's true for all things. If we truly want to have a greater understanding, we cannot simply be interested in something, rather, we need to invest our time and efforts to truly understand what we are trying to appreciate. I am grateful to have all the opportunities I have and be surrounded with a diverse group of people who truly have opened my eyes to the world that exists around me. However aside from simply appreciating it, I must be ready to learn and grow before I can reach that point of understanding. For now, as I put my final strokes on the poster, I begin to see that the piece came out awesome, but what was even more awesome is all that I learned from those around me who continuously help me understand the world in which we live.
