Higher Learning

My best learning experience took place my last day of school my senior year of high school. I didn’t take the final in my pre-calc class because I was just going to avoid it until my teacher told me to come take it. He asked me why I was trying to get out of it and I told him because I don’t understand it. He told me I was a great student and all I had to do was ask for help. He said, “When you are a good student and try teachers have more desire to help you out.” He sat me down and explained to me that I should never be afraid to ask because the more I ask the more I will learn and the more ill learn.

                My worst learning experience took place my freshman year of college. I was sheltered growing up and when I got to school I felt like I could do whatever I wanted no one was here to tell me no. I didn’t go to class, didn’t study, everything fell apart. I loss some of my scholarship money and was forced to pay for what it would take to go back to school this semester.  It was the worst way to learn that college isn’t a playground and I’m here for my education.
