I find the toughest subjects are things that they might not be extremely interested in but that we feel is important to know if only for cultural literacy. We talk a lot about how being well-spoken in a variety of subjects (even if you are not an expert) leads you to so many interesting experiences and opportunities. I am not sure they fully appreciate that all the time but I see little glimpses now and then. They will report back to me about a conversation they had and it will be something we discussed that I thought they cared nothing about and weren’t even listening. Any other suggestions to help them see the relevance of such things? Thanks for the continued inspiration!
