Post Lesson 2 Work

I met with a writing tutor to finalize modifications on my paper before I handed it in. I have been told I did a good job with it for the most part, but I am nervous about writing university-level papers.

I was just told my opening paragraph was FLAWLESS! I was also told that I am amazing at writing and have kicked off the writing portion with eloquence. Tutor Brietta said my professor will be blown away by how eloquent my writing is, which I hope will turn out to be the case.

I think that it's really important to remember that not everyone has the sense of sight, so they use their other senses to understand what is out in the world. The naked eye can see everyday things and occurrences, but it takes a deeper vision to see the inner beauty of everything and that is my reasoning behind why the Lord looks upon our hearts; our hearts tell him the truth and our desires while our words may not be what is necessarily true. There is more fun and more to learn when you try to see with more than just your eyes, as you can see truths and hidden treasures with your other senses and also your feelings.

I find it fascinating that in plain sight, turtles can be seen as slow and defenseless, but they know how to take care of themselves and know how to enjoy life. Turtles are slow not because they are big, but because they are treading through life with a caution that more of us should have when it comes to mortality. Turtles are often perceived as lazy and defenseless simply because of their appearance, but they have a hard shell to protect them when evil seeks to subtly destroy them and they can also fight back to protect what is sacred to them. Instead of rushing through life, maybe we need to take a lesson or two from the turtle and actually take the time to look around at our life. Knowing where we are and where we want to go, as a turtle does, may help us avoid subtle dangers. Turtles take the time to become aware of their surroundings and they are better at avoiding trouble than we often are, as we don't often take the time to take in our surroundings.
