Question 2: Paideia

My educational career has not particularly helped me experience Paideia. It has had a part in it of course, but only when looking at the big picture. I have been raised to examine the meaningful and pay less attention to the trivial. It is my instinctive nature to prioritize and find greater meaning in issues I feel more passionate about.
The support and recognition I have received from my educators and peers has encouraged me to grow into an independent thinker. Without the love from them and my family, I would probably have a poor ability to act on the meaningful vs. the insignificant. It is because of my overall positive environment that I have been able to find my way to paideia. I anticipate my future as a citizen of society whose main priorities are justice, education, and love.
