Ferte Salvar!!

Ferte, is the Latin second person plural imperative meaning "bear." This isn't like "bear ass" or "bear foot" but like "to bear secrets" or "to bear fruit."

With the 2009 spring semester coming to a close I pause for a moment to ask myself, "Quis tuli?" meaning "what have I bared." With this year being my first year in college I felt overwhelmed at first but now I'm "getting in the game."

I love learning Physics along with other things, but Physics and Mathematics have always held a special place in my heart. I honestly believe science demands respect and this is well deserved. We have accomplished SO much over a few hundred year with nothing more than our minds. Please don't think I hate the other topics taught in school. I'm a fan of various arts (music in particular) but I feel as though these subjects lack the mental abilities that most of us are capable of.

The biggest part is overcoming the "can't do it" attitude. You have to want to, really bad, that goes for anything in life but especially for the sciences. If you don't want it with all your heart it is quickly made obvious to those around you and you typically end up losing opportunities that could have flourished in the future. Be ALL you can be, whatever that might be.

Valete!!
