partial leter to my foster about me....I believe I owe you at the very least a letter telling you how I feel, to explain myself and to tell you what I have learned from your class.
I would like to believe im not like most of the people my age. I don’t know many who think the same way I do, but I know many who are close. You speak to us about scholarship, I seek scholarship. I think we may be talking about different things because the scholarship I seek is not that in academics, but it is a scholarship of the mind. I may have trouble describing this but I am going to attempt it. What im seeking from life right now is to better understand myself. I have seen too many men and women who have gone through their whole lives not persuading what they have truly wanted, simply because they never took the time to look inside of themselves to see what they wanted for life. Today in class we talked about love, I truly believe that you have to first understand yourself and love yourself before you can understand and love anything else. My reason for that is how would you know what you love with out first truly understanding yourself. In basic it all continues back to love, in one-way or another. I’m looking to understand myself first then ill looking to understand everything else, and with that understanding comes love. Your cant love something or someone without first understanding it. That’s my focus in life. In a short summary that’s what I am looking for, I understand I may never understand everything, nor do I expect to. What I do expect is to understand myself and understand many of those who are close to me.
