What I LearnedWhen I think about what counts as learning for me, I think about my life. Just being able to live in this world is a learning experience for me, because I feel that my life is full of lessons and I believe that you need lessons to learn in life. I feel like I have learned to understand learning better and also understand the value of learning. As I get older, I can understand topics more than ever before. I am learning to be more serious and I no longer take life for granted. I also think that maturing counts as learning for me because growing up, I was continually called immature. For me, maturing counts as learning because I find myself doing things I never thought I would do, like going to university, for example. I'm learning that I'm lucky to go to college and have the chance to make something of myself. I feel this way because I realized that a lot of people don't have the chance to go to college and do something with their lives. Since I have this chance, I will take full advantage of it during my university studies. I learned that I need to concentrate more if I want to succeed in college. I need to focus more because I know college isn't like high school and I really didn't focus in high school. College is also a great learning experience for me because it helps me get rid of the bad habits I had. These bad habits include things like not being prepared when I have to take a test and not studying. I realized I needed better study habits when I didn't pass my first exam in college. I did poorly because I didn't study; it was an old habit that I was used to and the main reason I did poorly... middle of paper ... know that I need more learning if I want to find what I want to be in life. I think a person needs to learn to succeed. I look forward to learning more things as my life progresses. I see the world as brand new because I am growing and maturing. I think it's amazing to feel this way because I didn't think I would ever be like this, ever. Finally, I feel that I will achieve my goal and find a passion that suits me if I continue to learn and mature more, I feel that I will be a new and better person. Honestly, I can say that I am proud of myself. Works Cited Frey, Darcy. “The last blow”. Reading and writing about the college experience. Huron Valley Publishing: Ypsilanti, 2003. 171 – 192.
