Student Work

At Heartlife best effort is the standard for all assigments. Here are examples of a few of our students' best effort work.

Chemistry 9-10-08 Observation 1

Consider our first goal of this class. What do you observe about the people you see and their attitude towards this statement? I understand that I do not fully understand my world. Therefore, I am humble and driven by curiosity. I can ask good questions and design a method to answer them.

Well, I haven't really seen too many people who think they know everything about our world. Sure, I know some arrogant people, but not really in this area. I do know that the people who act like know-it-alls in other areas get on my nerves. I think that it's very important to have humility, and admitting you don't know all there is to know is a good way to be humble.

Most of the people around me don't seem to be driven by a lot of curiosity. I do know a few people, though, who have been really passionate about what they do, and are always wanting to know more. Those kinds of people seem to be really happy for the most part, and have a very fulfilled and knowledgeable life. I definitely think that curious people tend to lead more exciting lives, because they're always trying to experience or learn something new.

In my observations and experiences, I have come to find that the ability to ask good questions is a great skill to have. It goes hand in hand with the curiosity. People who are internally curious but don't ask questions, don't learn the things they really want to know. People who have a question and ask it get a lot more out of life, because they're always learning more.
