Understanding and Listening
I think that my ability to listen and understand has been challenged in my short time here in Illinois. I live with two roommates who view life in very different ways than I do, and they are very willing to express their opinions. I appreciate their forthrightness, but I need to learn how better to listen and assimilate what they are saying before I try to argue with them. I think I have a harder time conversing with them because we operate under fundamentally different assumptions. This is actually a great blessing, but it means that I need to take more time to try and understand them and help them to understand me.
