When I Was 12 I Babysat This Girl For A Few Years And She Would Come To Me And Show Me Her Art, Drag

when i was 12 i babysat this girl for a few years and she would come to me and show me her art, drag me by my wrists and point at the pieces she’d made during the week. and she’d be like “do the voice” and i’d put on a sports-announcer olympics-style voice and be like “such form! this level of coloring! why i haven’t seen such perfection in crayola in a long time. and what is this? why jeff, now this is a true risk… it seems she’s made … a monochrome pink canvas…. i haven’t seen this attempted since winter 1932… and i gotta say, jeff, it’s absolutely splendid”  and she’d fall back giggling. at the end of every night she’d check with me: “did you really like it?” and i’d say yes and talk about something i noticed and tucked her in.

she was just accepted into 3 major art schools. she wrote me a letter. inside was a picture from when she was younger. monochrome pink. 

“thank you,” it said, “to somebody who saw the best in me.”

Rory Gilmore Is A Super Important Role Model In Education. She Doesn’t Just Dedicate Herself To Learning

Rory Gilmore is a super important role model in education. She doesn’t just dedicate herself to learning because she cares about grades, but because she’s passionate about learning inside and outside of school. Passion is the fuel of knowledge. Hope her work ethic can help boost yours as we all head into that end of year madness! Good luck with whatever exams you’re taking, but don’t just admire her dedication. Go study, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Learning is never something you will come to regret and the success will be well worth the extra time.

I grew up as a “gifted” kid and exceeded in every subject. Now, when I’m stuck on something, I have no idea how to study because I never learned when I was younger. I never developed study habits either and this screwed me up so much in high school and college.

it makes me so disgusted how people in america are so quick to make fun of someones foreign accent without realizing that multilingualism is an unremarkable necessity of everyday life for the majority of the world’s population and that being monolingual and ignorant is a lot more embarrassing than any accent ever will be

Love causes some of the worst heartbreaks, but it’s something almost everyone longs to feel for the sake of ridding their loneliness.
