This reminds me of the book, "Tuesdays with Morrie" where a student goes to visit his professor every Tuesday before he passes. The professor gives him life advice and pushes him to become the best version of himself in his community. I think this quote really relates to that book by the action of getting involved out of your comfort zone to see who you really are.

Wow, I've never heard this before but this is powerful. I wish they would have this up at every place of service or place of worship. When you think about it this way, then I definitely put service and activism in two different bins in my brain. I wonder how we can learn to mesh or specifically emphasize activism?

I am shocked to know that activism is a name and practice that isn't automatically correlated with service-learning. To me, those go hand and hand especially I feel like for our generation. I wonder when this shift happened or if there is a statistic to say who believes this and what the root cause of it was?

I wonder what the root cause of this is, because it can't be that they are nervous of their thoughts going public because they are writing about the discourses of service learning. If they are sharing their beliefs as to what it is, why are they nervous to share their beliefs about doing something about it?

I like these tips in what to annotate, a lot of times people just highlight a few words or random sentences, but having actual meaningful annotations can help you understand the passage on a deeper level.

I have never read the biographical note before, I normally just skip it, but knowing that Asimov is a science-fiction and nonfiction writer can definitely help me see through their point of view when I read the article

I really like these steps and I've never seen it presented in a step-by-step fashion like this. I'm going to try this method when I read my textbooks and articles later.

This is nice to keep in mind as I read, because sometimes I tend to get lost in the weeds of the words or I dig deeper into the content than the big picture of understanding why the writer felt the need to write about this topic in the first place.

hi!
