Welcome!

Hello,

If you’re reading this blog posting you probably already know who I am. But in this day and age who really knows who else is watching? For the sake of these mystery men and women I’ll tell you a little a bit about myself and why I started this blog.

My name is Stewart Corbett, most people call me Stew though. I was born and raised in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.  I have a BA from St. Thomas University with a major in Journalism with a  minor in Anthropology.

Although being a journalist is my dream job at the moment, I am also seriously considering becoming a school teacher and maybe even a professor one day. All three of these careers would allow me to do what I love doing most; sharing my own knowledge and other people’s knowledge with as many people as possible. That’s also the main reason why I decided to start my own blog.

I believe there is nothing more important in this world than gaining knowledge from others and using that knowledge to form your own opinion about something. I hope you can do this from the posts I make on this blog.

I also started this blog not only to encourage debate, but to help myself to be more open to other people’s views. I will admit that sometimes I am arrogant and have a hard time accepting other people’s opinions when it comes to certain things. I hope to fix this problem so I may not only become a better teacher in the future but a better student as well.

I can’t promise a post every week or anything like that. I will probably just hammer out a few things now and then as they cross my mind. I certainly can’t promise you’ll like everything or anything I have to write about. My hope is that you do not agree with what I say so that I can learn how to take criticism better.

I will also finish every post with a random quote from the internet or a book I have read that I feel relates to the posting.

So here it is, whether you like it or not; the Word of Stew.

“The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also hate his friends.” –Friedrich Nietzsche

P.S- I should probably also mention I will not be using this blog exclusively for controversial opinion pieces. I will also be throwing in creative writing here and there.
