L'etudiant de la vie

It took me years to realize politics affects my/our life. As a teenager, hearing the teacher explain the political system, it seemed removed from my life. Not having any influence on my life/thinking/relationships. It wasn't until I started reading (and listening to my husband, who studied political and social sciences at uni), that it affects everyone. Now of course you have to be blind to not see the negative impact it has on so many people. I'm grateful to have a husband who can teach our kids what politics does to us/them. It is our duty as a parent (and human being) to teach our kids. And as much as I see myself as a teacher (to our kids), I will always see myself as a student of life. Listening and learning.
