In AP biology we have been doing a book study to add to our view of where we fit into the ever-expanding food production chain. In class we have learned a great deal about the "chemistry of life" and what that means to the growth of plants and animals. This is all well and good, but without deeper meaning, I feel at times this information would be fruitless. My hope is that in this book study we can follow the life of Norma Borlaug, and find inspiration in his humble beginnings, and find direction with his life story.
Its hard to know just what you want " to do with your life" as it is often asked. "Ali, what do you want to do with your life?", " Adam, What do you want to be when you grow up?" I am often the one asking these questions of my students. I can see this as the pot calling the kettle black, because I do not know yet what I want to do "when I grow up". I believe we are all on a path and that we are not finished with our grooming for a very long time, if ever.
Do we have a vision for our future? Can we envision a future for the world, made better by our being here? That is what we are trying to uncover on this adventure! :)
