My Personal Experience : My Experience Of Learning In My Life

I feel like to me learning goes beyond being in a classroom. For example, in life, I take the lessons that were given to me and learn valuable lesson that I was supposed to learn. In essence, everything is a learning experience for me that I come in contact with or encounter.

There is an endless supply of knowledge out there in the world, and I am ready to take in as much as I can. Every time I learn something new, I see the world a little differently and interact with people on a new level. For instance, learning about nature or receiving new information about how living things function, helps me appreciate the life that I am living. I never find a class to be fruitless, even if it will not be the most practical subject in my life; I still treasure the information that I retain from it. Some people are content with knowing what they learn from their classes and going home and watching the television, but for me, learning does not stop when I leave the classroom. I read books at home, research topics discussed in class, and attempt to memorize pieces from my favorite poets. Learning is a never-ending, but delightful, process for

Many people in history, as well as my mentors, have influenced my personal learning philosophy about early childhood learning.

Since I was a young girl, learning was something necessary to do in order to mature into my own self. It's something us as humans do to evolve from our younger selves. From learning to talk, walk ,and read we learn many things throughout our lifetime to be the person we are today. Learning is the key to life. Learning makes us progress. Riding a bicycle was a learning experience that I might never forget it.

In the last year, I have moved from New Jersey to New York to Iowa. Moving away from your family is hard, but can be done by having a strong relationship with people and good friends. Moving multiple times for the same reason, hockey, can be mentally and physically tough, but the outcome and experiences that you will encounter will make up for it. Moving is hard but can be overcome and can be viewed as a learning experience.

I’m a teenager in high school that has a sister in college and a 2 year old brother, can you relate? Some may get embarrassed about having siblings of such great age differences but I have found the importance in it. One of the best learning experiences in my life is getting to be involved in helping take care of a child every day at a young age. I understand that it’s hard work to take care of a baby and that I need to wait for kids until I’m financially stable. It’s a blessing to have learned early on in my life because some teenagers don’t have younger siblings or parents to teach them right from wrong, good from bad, and smart from stupid. Everyone has an American Dream, mine is to be happy no matter what I achieve, don’t achieve in my life, or anything that happens to me. This relates to my life because I’m cheerful about having a young sibling at a very unexpected time of my life as a teenager.

Learning something new can be scary. One of the hardest things I had to deal with, was losing my biggest motivator. It didn’t take me a lot to be motivated, but having my aunt and seeing how successful she was made me want to do better. Coping with my aunt’s death caused me to lose hope for a while. I figured if it happened to someone as smart and head strong like my aunt, it could easily happen to me. So, I had to learn how to motivate myself to keep going after I lost her. Success is a big part of my life. So, learning to keep going was tough. Losing my aunt helped me realize life is short and to keep going no matter what.

Throughout my life so far I’ve had various unpleasant confrontations to say the least, but this one definitely tops them all. It was just like every other normal school day, having to wake up and go to school all day, come home for an hour or so, then off to my nightly basketball games. The date was January 6th, honestly a day I’ll most likely never forget, so the weather was rather cold and snowy. We played Windber and won that night, the next day was a saturday and the basketball team had a double-header to make up at Blacklick. After the Windber game I knew it was in my best interest to get home and rest up for what the next day had in store. Shortly after arriving home I received some texts and a phone call from my best friends stating how they found two dogs left out in the cold with no dog tags and were unsure of how to react. Not much thought came to my mind besides the fact of how bad I felt for the poor dogs, so I wasn’t of much help. They tried to reach out to the police and several of my other friends but this all fell through. When all else failed I received another call that my friends were driving nearby and asked if it would be alright for them to stop by with the dogs. I then ventured outside to see the dogs which seemed perfectly fine and very cute.

My most memorable moments occurred during my elementary school years because most of the learning was combined with fun school trips. I remember learning about Native Americans and the way they survived in the wild. I was amazed to learn about them and the tools they made as well. The baskets, fishing, and use of acorns for food. We were able to learn about the importance of knowing of those who came before us. Also, about the close knit families they had and traditions. The historically aspect of it was very interesting because they were people that were very different from the culture we knew. The aha moment came by visiting Pioneer Village because I was amazed that we can see and touch a replica of those times. I realized that

My life is full of surprises and I’m just a young father, part time student, and a full-time employee. I live with many difficulties, but I find ways to get through them. I am twenty-four years of age, born in Mexico, but raised in Pasadena for almost my whole life. I’m trying to make a living and get through all the struggles and sacrifices. My life is like a roller coaster because I’m either doing good or bad. I have regrets but is more like a lesson learn. I worry for a lot of things, but it just means that I care. I made many mistakes in my life, but I always fix them. Is just being part of human being to go through a lot of emotions before we are set in life. I learned not to depend on no one, but myself. Although, the father I’m becoming today has taught me to be stronger and stay focus on my long-term goals. My goal is to show a good role model to my son, so that way he cannot make the same mistake that I did and live paycheck by paycheck.

In my personal opinion, learning or academic experiences do not have to happen in school for them to change the way you learn. In fact, I believe that the experience does not have to relate to academics in any way. It could just be a small, random moment that changes your whole demeanor or it could be a huge, life-altering lesson that changes the way you live the rest of your life. These experiences or lessons could be unexpected, something that you want to resist, or even ones that you believe that you do not need. It is hard to pinpoint an exact moment of “great academic change” for me because I never believed that I had one, but my change happened so fast that I didn’t even know how much of a lasting impact it was going to have on me.

Lifelong learning can enhance our understanding of the world around us, provide us with more and better opportunities and improve our quality of life. We already know that the knowledge is unlimited so learn never enough in your lifelong. When you are growth, you will change the ways learning to find own your lifelong learning experience. Now, I will tell some my learning experience.

While I am impressed with how our group performed, I would propose a few changes if I were to do it again. After our group chose the community, it would have been helpful to have a meeting before we actually visited the community to establish a plan on what we wanted to do during our visit. At this first meeting, I would have proposed appointing a leader of the group. This could be anyone that stepped up to the job and could reached via a consensus. Moreover, a leader would have been helpful in making decisions and would have the final say in our decisions, research, and presentation style. Having someone specifically to assigned this task would have helped solve conflict, make decisions, and be more effective

When looking back at my education in the past, I would say that I am happy with my overall experience. I do think that there was some areas that were more challenging than others, but this was a reflection of more than just educational factors. We consider all of the things that happen in our lives and pile them into different experiences. When thinking about specifically my educational experience, I feel accomplished and thankful for the kind of education and support I received a while in school. I am grateful to have only attended one school from Kindergarten to 12th grade, with the exception of having to switch buildings for 9th-12th grade. I am happy to say that the teachers in my past have played a big role in my reasoning for wanting to become a teacher. I remember sitting in a desk and thinking, “This is what I want to do when I get older” during my 4th grade Math class. I was lucky to attend a school that was small in quantity, but not quality. I knew all of my teachers, and future teachers from other grades. I felt lucky to go through school with peers from Grade K-12 and graduate with people I have spent my entire education with. I liked having tutoring resources when needed and feeling like I could help others in need as well. I felt like my school education was like family to me. I think it is important to be comfortable with the teachers and classmates in your school setting. It makes learning and overall class atmospheres less overwhelming and anxious in my opinion.

My Adventure to Foushee's Mill began on Saturday November 5th,  2017.  I had three classmates with me, their names were Hope, Joel, and Casey.  We have been told to go to Foushee's Mill by our Focused Inquiry professor, the week before, to take in what we experience. This was a definitely a new experience for me being only a Freshman in college, and changed how I saw my three classmates. This is what experienced personally on this adventure:
