In order to grow, we must learn. In order to learn, we must question. As a dancer I heard the phrase "dance first, think later. It is the natural order." But humans are not wired this way. Since birth we have been curious; eager to learn about our world and make our mark. Questioning deepens our ability to understand who we are and the world we live in. It gives us our values and a sense of purpose. By questioning our hearts and minds, we can choose who we want to be.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.
