I don't know everything, or even most things, but know how to learn, and I'm grateful for what I do know. I'm grateful for what I've learned. I'm grateful for the training I've received in my chosen fields of study. Whether you're glad or outraged about today's political events, I hope we can all realize that, though we may not all agree on method, we can all agree on purpose: ignorance is not bliss; knowledge is power.
Even Joseph Smith, the first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, declared that "It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance" (Doctrine & Covenants 131:6). Not only do I believe in learning by study, but I also believe in learning by faith, growing by study and faith.
I hope we can all have continued faith in ourselves, our communities, and our countries. I am grateful for what I have received from the American education system.
