Soon after starting the Philosophies of East and West classes I realized that philosophy isn’t just about accumulating facts, as fascinating as these may be, and brain knowledge, but about looking inside of myself and growing as a person. It has felt very rewarding to join a community of diverse people who share this passion for bettering ourselves, our relationships with people and doing our part of service through volunteering. I’ve learned so much through being a student and a teacher, engaging in art projects and donation campaigns, nature excursions and games. My experiences at Acropolis have shown me the true meaning of friendship.
