Alex, I am not saying that texting is bad. That is not my point at all. When people that fall into it and do nothing but text, instead of call them, or talk to them, that is not good. Texting can be great, and so can blogging. It can fill a niche when it is illogical to talk face to face with someone or call them. Blogging is the saame way. This is a great way to use blogging :)
Great, Kristina! Will do. I am so impressed with you all; you are much further along the find meaning spectrum than I was at your age. Thanks for letting me participate!
@Everyone- Thank you so much for joinig us today and putting your imput in. This applies to my class mates as well :)
We're done. Thanks everyone.
Thank you everyone for blogging with us everyone. Final question: What are the side effects of having no meaning in your life?

Catem- I think that schools could incorporate meaning from outside school better. And you bring up a good point, I think that if we could be challenged in our beliefs, then it could help us form our own beliefs. Maybe the school system thinks we are not ready to form our own beliefs yet.
@Lucy- I just wanted to say one more thing. I already feel that I know my calling, I love kids and I plan on being a Kindergarten teacher, or at least a teacher of of a young grade. I have just always felt that I was ment to be a kindergarten teacher. Even the people that know me well say that I will definitally be a kindergarten teacher.
Deeply appreciated being able to 'attend' this session -- even if half-a-day late.
My 17 month old son has been sick all week, and I had to suddenly leave school before lunch in order to take care of him...which meant I was suddenly unable to be part of this session as I flew out the school door to get home.
Fascinating thread re: spirituality and the labyrinth concept that Pink writes about. Given that religion and school are often not allowed into the same conversation (at least with public schools), this is also striking.
Sorry for not being able to be available today at the last minute, but I'm also equally appreciative that the sessions is still 'open' to read -- even at the edge of midnight.
Cheers from Texas,
Christian
