TANGENTRIDER BLOG--Who are you?
This is a very complicated question. There are clues, of course: how you learn, what you like, what you are good at, what gets you fired up, your family, your culture, your choices. Here's the deal: knowing who you are --really knowing it--gives a person great strength.
So, take steps to find out. Learn your stories. Talk to people. Try things on for size. Do some self-reflection (like the VARK). Be who you are. But--and this is huge--do not expect the world to cater to your personal style. It will not happen. It should not happen. So, learn to communicated--really communicate--with people who are nothing like you. For Christians, this is a command. We are not one because of our similarities. We are one because we trust and follow Christ. We will be living together for eternity, so why not start getting along--and, hello, loving each other--right now.
We are all different. the "sanpshot" below is a bit of evidence. Because we learn differently, sometimes we will have a hard time communicating. Decide now to work through that. There will also be times when the teaching will not be the most helpful for your particular learning style. Sometimes life is like that. Take some responsibility and learn to translate for yourself. Each of us is responsible before God for our spiritual growth. True, teachers carry some responsibility for their students, but this does not excuse the students. So, if, I the teacher, am primarily visual--and I am--that means I need aural, read/write, and kinesthetic learners to help me translate what I teach (hint, hint). If you are willing, comment, email, call. Step up to the plate, tfb collegians.
