As humans, it seems we're always preparing for something. As children, we're more being prepared for things than actually preparing for ourselves. We're prepared to crawl, walk, talk, go to school, learn to swim and other activities. As we get older, we prepare for tests in school by studying the content, we prepare for sporting activities by going to practice, and we prepare to get our driver's license.
