Its what makes them who they are. Its what makes them unique. What subjects and topics interest you? Where will your interests lead you in life? Thats so important to students in their college work. Im afraid I dont agree. Curiosity is only a part of the picture. The big difference in students has to do with study habits. Does a student work hard, or not? Believe me, those differences can be huge. Like night or day. Actually, I think youre both right. Youre just pointing out different aspects of a persons character. Both are very important. Why choose one over the other? Thats true. Neither is completely right or wrong. A persons curiosity says so much. So does his or her capacity for work.

I like animals because they dont do to themselves or to others the things we do to them.”,N,N,Text A,Article15,?,15 “And finally,” I finished, “I like animals because theyre not hypocrites. They dont say one thing and do another. They are, as Ive said, honest. Animals not humans are the best this planet has to offer.”,Text A,Article16-17,?,16 And, interestingly enough, despite my straight talk, none of them made a snide comment or gave a hint of laughter. The conversation actually rolled into shared stories of animals theyd known, stories of animal loyalty and intelligence, their humor and innocence. And it was me whod become the listener with the occasional comment: 17 “Now, if humans could only be like animals.”,Text A,Article18,18 And that is how I fight the good fight; I rise on behalf of the best among US.
