As I walked through the Education in Zion exhibit one more time, the quote from Matthew 11:28-29 stuck out to me. Christ calls all people to come and learn of him. As this semester ends, I have been thinking a lot about the professors we are blessed with here at BYU. While I don't think they compare to how great of a teacher Christ is, there are very amazing professors that we are able to learn from.
In the same section as the earlier quote there is another quote that I really enjoy. It reads, "In the Zion tradition, we share the truth freely so that every person might learn and grow and in turn strengthen others."As part of our faith and as part of the "Zion Tradition" it is necessary not only to learn and grow ourselves, but to teach and help others to learn and grow. I think that the many professors here at BYU continue to be one of the best ways this tradition moves forward.
As I reflect on all the many things I have been able to learn this semester from anatomy, it is because of other people taking their time to teach me and to give me the opportunity to teach them and others as well. As another quote from the exhibit says, "From our faith in Christ and our love for one another, our commitment to education flows". We have all been blessed by our professors and from each other and as we continue this great "Zion Tradition" we will be able to bless the lives of many generations to come.
What does education mean to us, and how has our experience in anatomy affected our views and opinions on education? How are we changing through the semester? Through this blog, we hope to share our reflections on lessons learned, appreciation gained, and how anatomy has influenced our experience in the Education in Zion exhibit. We hope to show individual growth and increased understanding, and we hope we show a greater appreciation for education as we create posts throughout the semester.
