University

A university is where 

we pursue knowledge,

alone and together,

students can ask questions without fear,

and learn through making mistakes,



professors correct students and then move on, 

sometimes professors tell students we don’t know the answer either 

and let us find out together,

professors say let us try this

and see whether it works,

oops it is wrong 

let us try something else,

where we will never learn anything 

if we are afraid to ask questions 

and make mistakes,



where there is not just one voice

and not only one correct answer,

we learn the joy of discovery,

by taking risks in speculating,

we test our understanding by explaining and defending,

where the truth will stand the test of challenges 

and the test of time,

but not that there is only one way to think,

where the learning and questioning will never end.
