-: I loved my time at Ball State,
and I believe firmly that the education I received here,
it did teach me to think.
And I know that that contributed to my getting accepted
to the University of Edinburgh and getting accepted
to the Glasgow, and I know that's part
of getting accepted into law school.
I have applied the lessons about thinking
and the methods of learning to every job that I've had,
to every experience that I've had, really,
over the last 20 years.
And I attribute that directly to what I got here
at Ball State. It wasn't what I learned in high school,
let's face it, you're just trying to get out.
But when you get to the undergrad level,
you really are developing, not an expertise
in any particular area,
but you're learning that process of thinking critically
and applying those lessons to everything that you do.
