from mighty girl:
“you are what you learn. if all you know is how to be a gang member, that’s what you’ll be, at least until you learn something else. if you go to law school, you’ll see the world as a competition. if you study engineering, you’ll start to see the world as a complicated machine that needs tweaking. a person changes at a fundamental level as he or she merges with a particular field of knowledge. if you don’t like who you are, you have the option of learning until you become someone else. there’s almost nothing you can’t learn your way out of. life is like a jail with an unlocked, heavy door. you’re free the minute you realize the door will open if you simply lean into it.”
