This piece of evidence sticks out to me because it is stating how everyone can have different understandings of something and still be able to do it. I understand the struggle of knowing something but not understanding it how other people might. Not everyone learns the same so this is really interesting to see how studies show that minds think differently.]]> 2018-03-19 15:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jdomenico1/h7zr6jqqcvvj/wish/243580366 Jackson Works for me jackson_storey https://padlet.com/jdomenico1/h7zr6jqqcvvj/wish/243580438 "The seven top characteristics of

Broad learning skills are the key to long-term, satisfying, productive careers. What helps you thrive in a changing world isn't rocket science." This quote stood out to me the most because it reminds me of how some parents want their child to be a certain person when they grow up, but then they want to be something else. If you want to be a singer and your parents want you to be a doctor you should do what you want to do because that's how your going to succeed better even if singing isn't as good as being a doctor or it'snot what your family wants for you, but your singing could change the world. kristen_russell https://padlet.com/jdomenico1/h7zr6jqqcvvj/wish/243580724 2018-03-19 15:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jdomenico1/h7zr6jqqcvvj/wish/243580724 jess jessica_oquendovazq https://padlet.com/jdomenico1/h7zr6jqqcvvj/wish/243580777 "The seven top characteristics of

This quote stood out to me because I believe that no student should feel like they are being forced to do something that they don't have to do to graduate successfully.
