Practical Philosophy, Thursday
"You're all here for a reason."
Ender sat cross-legged on the ground, watching his students.
"I don't mean that in the sense that fate might have dictated your actions, or anything like that," he said. "But you have all come here for some reason. Maybe it wasn't specifically Fandom you chose to go to, but you chose to leave... something. And you no doubt had ideas about what that would mean for your future. Or maybe you didn't - maybe you didn't choose to leave, and coming here has changed your perception of what the future might be. Or," he added, smiling faintly, "It hasn't at all. Either way, you still have thoughts about what the future should be. Everyone does."
He took a sip from a bottle of water.
"If you think this is me working up to asking you what you'd like to be when you grow up, then you're correct," he said. "No long speech from me today. I'd just like an answer to that question - and then we'll talk about it."
