In the year 2003, twelve years after graduating high school, I was enrolled into two universities. I actually completed an application to attend my undergraduate school, but I was also unknowingly and simultaneously enrolled in the “School of Humility.” Both universities influenced my life by helping me develop skills to become a public-school Social Studies teacher and then administrator. While I thought my textbook education was preparing me to serve others properly, I learned over time that my ability to impact people actually came from the development of life-skills seldom printed in textbooks.

I learned that pride will foremost prevent a person from becoming a good teacher. I learned that resilience was paramount to survive self-doubt even though I never read a chapter about it. I learned that truly making impact on others must come from selfless acts of love despite the varied receptions. In short, my education in college was to teach me teaching skills, but my education in life made me mentally tough.
