How did you learn to think for yourself?

Who says that I am? Who says that I'm not letting this site think for me. Sometimes I think that's why this site is here, to tell you how to think. The whole "think arete" thing in every e-mail gets to me sometimes.

Truly though. I learned to think for myself because I was never given any other option. There was never anyone around to think for me. Even when I'm in classes now I wish I could be self taught. I hate being told what to read, what to study, what to learn. I'd honestly learn more if I was left alone to do it. I love a lot of books, even educational ones, but I would be more inclined to read them if I wasn't forced. I have a test tomorrow. ick. a practical in anatomy. I love my anatomy book. I hate having to study it. I don't learn like that. grr.

This has turned into a rant.
Wish me luck on my test.
