"I stay up to date through reading and research. It's all about asking questions; the more I know, the more I realize how little I understand. Research and the periodicals I follow drive my eagerness to share. When I share something, I stand to learn something new when someone reciprocates and shares something I wasn't aware of. I stay up-to-date every way I can."
