Abstract
I remember reading this poster on the wall at secondary school, and although I had some idea what it meant, now as I contemplate my journey over the last five years it has more meaning. Emotional education for me has been a process of becoming emotionally literate—a process which has irrevocably changed me towards becoming a whole, integrated person with awareness of my feelings, where they originate and how to communicate in an authentic way which builds trust and meaningful, fulfilling relationships. Ultimately the knowledge can be forgotten, but the person retains a sense of connection to self and those around.
