Enjoying Homework?
Aquinas has been good for me for so many reasons. I have met some wonderful people in the students, staff and faculty. I now even find myself engaging in theological conversations that I would have avoided. Perhaps the most interesting thing so far is the level of enjoyment that I received from homework.
I don’t remember receiving joy from writing papers. However, I enjoyed discerning over a topic in my Pro Seminar class. The research was fascinating. I enjoyed discovering parts of the Divinity Library. I enjoyed learning! I can feel myself growing as a person.
Now the question remains whether I will enjoy my grades. I would be disappointed if I did not do well, but not devastated. I learned something regardless of the grade. I am a better student because of the work. I am a better person because of the work.
Someone asked me what I would get out of returning to school. I finally have my answer…I will be a better servant.
