From science, I learned to sift through irrelevant information and find the essential fact.
This has helped me chair meetings.
From lectures in school, I learned to listen well.
This has helped me minister to my neighbour.
From writing term papers, I learned to express complex ideas simply.
This has helped me to talk.
From reading poetry, I learned to capture volumes in sentences.
This has helped me to write.
From adversity, I learned perseverance.
This has brought me accomplishments.
From broken dreams, I learned to bear pain.
This has taught me to love.
