"Why am I here?"

On the first day of class we played an ice breaker game where we made questions beginning with who, what, when, where and why. One of my favorite questions was "Why am I here?"

It's a great question. One we don't think about too often or too hard. Maybe your here because your parents made you. Or maybe you are here because you think you must be. Or maybe you are here only here to get an A+.

But since you are here, let's figure out why we are here. Let's come to class with a purpose, with a goal. "Today, I am here to be more courageous!" "Today, I am here to learn some new words!" "Today, I am here to improve my writing skills!"

Everyday in class we should think hard and know exactly, why we are here.
