Mastery - comprehensive knowledge or skill in a subject or accomplishment
Mastery is a very important word, especially in college. In order to master something, you must practice for over 10,000 hours to be successful. Most people think that once you go through your four years of college, that you are a master at what you majored in. But according to the theory of the 10,000 hour rule this is not true. It takes about ten years to achieve mastery in any field, academic or not. When one practices for 10,000 hours or ten years, they are considered a master.
Two words I have learned this week are Abrogate and Fortuitous. Abrogate refers to cancel, destroy, revoke, or void something. Fortuitous meanings happening by chance. Learning new vocabulary words weekly is helping me become a better reader and writer because I am able to strengthen my vocabulary implementing these words into my academic life.
