Acquired, Conception, Conviction, Dogmatic, Enlightening, Impression, Intuition, Misconception

acquired- developed or learned; not naturally occurring
conception- the ability to form or understand an idea
conviction- a fixed or strong belief
dogmatic- stubbornly adhering to unproved beliefs
enlightening- informative; contributing to one's awareness
impression- a feeling or understanding resulting from an experience
intuition- the power of knowing things without thinking; sharp insight
misconception- an incorrect understanding or interpretation

While in my fifth grade, I acquired the ability form conceptions from facts and learning, rather than being dogmatic. Although, I do believe that we should listen when we have a strong conviction about something, but at some point we should be open to facts and information enlightening us. This may give you the impression that I open to intuition. But, this is a misconception. I believe that intuition is a higher knowing that learning something. For example, a mother's intuition is much stronger and more reliable than what she could learn in a book.
