In kindergarten you learn a lot of lessons that will stay with you your whole life. In All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten by Robert Fulghum he tells you all the lessons we learned in kindergarten. Like clean up your own mess, don't take things that aren't yours, and when you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together. All of these will stay with you in your life. In kindergarten I learned that I should always clean up my own mess. I need to fix my own problems without counting on someone to help me. My teacher told us that are parents aren't here to clean up after us so we had to take charge and stop being childish. It's important to be able to take responsibility for your actions I think
Usually these lessons are valuable and can continue to be used throughout life. If there are multiple children in a family the oldest learns and experiences everything before the younger sibling does, and they then teach their younger sibling about the right and wrong ways to do things. Law 165 states that if a father passes property to his first son as a gift, once the father dies the estate must be split between the other sons including the first son, and the previous gift that was given is not included in the split. This shows that the oldest son is expected to take on more responsibility than his younger siblings, by being given a piece of property as a gift he is expected to take care of it and then later pass it to his child. This correlates to our society today when it comes to the expectations of the oldest child. The oldest child is expected to set an example for their younger siblings and take on the most
One generation can learn many things from one another like responsibility, kindness, and forgiveness because each generation has a little more knowledge than other generations. First of all, one generation can learn from one another is responsible because older people have multiple responsibilities to do every day. An example that can show responsibility is, “Grounded” because she had to be responsible for her actions. This reveals that she might have to suffer the punishments. This also shows that her parents might not trust her if she went out. Another example of responsibility in “Grounded” was her. This proves if she went to the place she wanted to go something might have happened to her. I can relate to this because when I was little kid
One lesson I learned from my grandmother took me two years to learn. I grew up around a family who praised you for good grades. I grew up thinking that getting good grades was important in life and that helping
It is simple, follow these steps, and you will be happier. Robert Fulghum wrote the book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. In this book he mentioned three major, but simple lessons: put things back where you found them, play and work some everyday, hold hands and stick together. These important rules for kindergarten are also important rules for life, and apply to our everyday lives.
Kindergarten is a fun time for most students. Although it is mostly fun, much can be learned during this year of youngsters life. In the Robert Fulghum’s book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten he list some simple lessons that everyone should follow. He says to put things back where you found them, work and play some every day and hold hands and stick together. The world would be a better place if we could follow these rules.
Lessons can come in many forms, some more straight forward than others. In the story “The Lesson,” by Toni Cade Bambara a girl with hate in her heart learns that good things can happen to anyone and in the essay “Commencement Speech, Kenyon College,” by David Foster Wallace he guides us to not live with hate in your heart. Both authors bring up the fact that people tend to be very selfish and annoyed with other people around them. They also suggest that a person can transcend a negative environment through effort. They explain this in different ways which leads to a lesson in both stories.
When people think they have the power of doing anything they will gain, greed and do anything to get anything they want. I learned that you should not have greed because you will do things that you will never do. I learned if you listen to other people and you know it's a bad idea you shouldn’t do it. It may cost you, your own life or someone that you love.
Another personal value that I live by till this day that you taught is “it’s not about what you do, it’s how you do it”. Another concept that went over my head when I was younger. I think this concept can mean many different things depending on your perspective. The way I look at is I should always give everything I do my full effort and do it to the best of my ability. I think it saves you time from have to redo things multiply times. It’s basically like quality over quantity, the way I see it. For example, me going to school. If I just go to school just to say I’m going and not do my work to my full potential I would have different results than I have now. Instead of it taking me two years to finish my Associates degree it probably would
When we leave middle school, the first thing we take with us is what we’ve learned
I was taught at a very young age to always respect my elders and to never talk back (of course there are certain circumstances to where that doesn’t apply).
The biggest lesson that my father taught me was in seventh grade. It was a normal day of basketball practice and we were scrimmaging. During a particular play, I ran the wrong route. He made me run around the gym for forgetting what to do. I decided that I was too tired to sprint around the gym. Because of my decision, he chose to kick me out of practice. I knew at that point that I could take no breaks. While I was taking breaks, other people were getting better. Chances to improve were very slim, so I needed to take advantage of them whenever possible. Although this was a very inconvenient way for me to learn this lesson, he definitely got his point across and I now work hard every chance that I get.
“All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” is a book written by Robert Fulgham. I do agree with this book’s “rules”. I simply think that they would work in the real world. If we all tried I’m sure we could make the world a better world. It would take time but the payoff would be amazing.
Another lesson I learned is to be selfless and help people no matter under what circumstances. It can be as small as raising money on a website or as big as saving a child from a burning
not learn to make responsible situations because the decision was always made for them. This can lead
As a child I was taught to be polite and to never use obscenities, that there are many words within the English language that I can use to express myself and this was enforce by family and teachers and I was aware of the consequences of disobeying rules set forth. A core principle that was instilled in me was to always ask for something, but most importantly the value of earning and deserving of getting rewards, that nothing in life that is not earned without hard work and sacrifice. In earning these rewards one can appreciate hard work and know the value of hard work. Another important value taught to me as child is to be willing to share with others and that there is joy and fulfillment in sharing and an appreciation for what you have and not to covet things your neighbors have. I had to learn to appreciate what I had and show that appreciation and that has carried over into my adult life wherein I appreciate gifts and people and I am very thankful for those in my life. I am very careful of the friends I keep as one of the things instilled in me is that the people you surround yourself is a reflection of the person you are.
