This one was tough for me. I had to talk out ideas with Marina to figure out how to represent ethos. Luckily, she's good at explaining concepts she's read about. I tend to need to see things to understand. She says she can't teach, but I've learned plenty from my daughter. I like that we have so many learning styles and interests in our family. It means that we all have strengths and our own way of looking at things and are able to help each learn.
