I know I haven’t lived a long time, but I hope that in these future years to come, I will continue to learn more and change more – And I want to look back one day at this article and see how far I’ve gone.

Generally, we are taught from the direction out to in:
We take in information from our mentors, our environment, our books and notes and teachings, and that’s what learning was for much of our life.

Completely new.
