Learning Challenge: Watch for Empathy

One of my TA's was very patient with one of the other students in the classroom.  They expressed a lot of empathy for the student by understanding their frustration with the subject and being patient with them.  I learned that empathy isn't an action you take.  Empathy is a lifestyle that can envelop every single action that we partake in.  No matter what we do, we can always seek to understand those around us and have our actions benefit them.  I want to learn how to always be empathetic and genuine towards those around me.
Empathy is putting someone else's thoughts into your own thoughts in order to further understand their feelings.
