“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” – Carl Jung
This simple yet profound quote by the ubiquitous psychiatrist and psychoanalyst reminds us that our intentional decision to act is more important than saying what one plans to do. For acting is what creates the life we choose to experience. Carl Jung is a highly revered theorist who believed that human beings are connected to each other and their ancestors through a shared set of experiences. We use this collective consciousness to give meaning to the world.
As an organization that has been supporting adults in Baltimore for 33 years, South Baltimore Learning Center (SBLC) has long been a proponent of lifelong learning while understanding that it takes a collective to spark growth and continuous improvement in others. That applies to the hundreds of learners who come through our doors (both in-person and virtually) each year eager to learn more and expand their minds and hearts. And it applies, likewise, to the SBLC team, who I have seen firsthand working individually and collectively to expand, learn, exchange knowledge and resources all while empowering our community of learners to understand that their lives are dependent on their ability to act.
As we enter the last month of the winter semester, we are excited and inspired by the steady news about learner growth including those increasing their reading and math proficiency scores, learners passing portions of the GED test, learners earning their diplomas by way of passing the GED exam or by completing the National External Diploma Program (NEDP). We are equally excited to welcome new learners who will be entering our doors for the Spring semester. As mentioned earlier, we are an organization who stays committed to learning together. This is done by engaging in purposeful professional development activities that build capacity to foster the development of the whole person.
