I think that there are many ways to learn. Life experience is probably one of the best ways that you can learn. Combine this with education and higher learning and just think what you can do!
I am a late starter in getting a higher education. I can personally tell you that had I gone to college right after high school, I don't think that I would've finished. And, who knows, I might not have gone back to finish after almost 30 years if I didn't enjoy it the first time! Since I am a little older than the average student, I feel that I try to maintain my GPA as high as I can and that I care more about my grades than some younger students.
I enjoy learning so much in all the classes that I have taken…even algebra! I like having to make myself learn something new in each class. I could sit at home and decide that I want to learn how to write papers or how to photograph and manipulate images but after a while, I would need help in learning and going to school is the best way to achieve more knowledge.
Andie, you have a great attitude and a drive that will help you succeed.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Andie. Sometimes I beat myself up for not finishing college the first time. But your post made me realize that if I really wanted to I would have. I try to get top grades too. I really don't like worrying about grades all the time, but I need to apply for a scholarship next year. So it goes.
