First assignment....

I just posted my first assignment for Environmental Science in my assignment folder, an essay on the movie A Civil Action. The frustrating thing about essays is that you could feel that you've touched on everything that's important and in line with the subject, and your professor could say that you didn't delve into this aspect or that aspect of the subject, thereby making your grader lower than expected. At the same time, it's also a teaching and a learning point. You can only improve when someone tells you where you've made your mistake(s). If we have little ones and we want them to learn from their mistakes, we have to settle the example in accepting and correcting our own--particularly in the area of education.

We don't want our self-righteous, all-knowing attitudes to rub off on them ("I am NEVER wrong"), because then we all cease to learn and take in new knowledge. And if help is needed, ask the professors (or in my case, e-mail); that's what they're there for. Here's hoping I did well, and learning from what I may have done wrong so that I can do better the next time.
