Lessons for Life

"You do your best, and I'll do mine," was a note attached to my professor Frank Breniesen's computer. It was posted there, starring me in the face (along with the rest of his clutter) each time I sat in his office and talked with him. He would talk with me about aperture, shutter speed, and angles. However, within the lesson there was always something deeper. A life lesson. He was always positive, upbeat, and fulfilling. He pushed me to do my best work. Always showing me ways to be more creative. Giving me ideas to enhance my work and make it more unique that someone else's. Saying, "Try this... Or do that..." I could easily take what he said and relate it to life — Unless I tried to do something beyond what I had already mastered, I would never truely grow. As it was in school, so it is in life. I keep striving for my best. Thanks Frank.
