Freedom

“Freedom is the awareness of alternatives & the ability to choose.”
– Alan Wheelis

I wish my students understood the extent to which they curtail their own freedom with lackluster academic performance! They don't get deferred gratification - the way their hard work today will pay off in the future. They are not only NOT aware of all the alternatives out there, but they don't see that they DO have the power to choose - IF they lay the foundation now...

Sigh.
