I can apply what Parker J. Palmer says about doing what makes you happy and not worrying about what others think. This is most relevant in my life while I make the decision to pick a college. While deciding, I have to remember why I want to go to college and focus on what will make me happy.
I can also relate to how Palmer describes "wearing other peoples faces." When I make the transition from high school to college I need to learn to show people my true colors. In college, hopefully I will not pretend to be someone I am not.
Palmer also says that we must "experience darkness." He says that learning from our failures is important to gaining success in life. I will take his words of wisdom into action. Every time I encounter a failure, I will take it as a learning experience.
