Is having children selfish?
324. “Is having children selfish?” That was the question of the day in my Human Person philosophy class today.

Breadth or depth
Daily Blog post 317 I think at a very young age I realized I had many diverse interests. At for some reason, when we turn 17, we are forced to specialize in a certain major at a particular college. But still, I’ve been interested in more than just business. Which is why I take Chinese Continue reading
