Learning Outside the Classroom
Ways that help me learn outside the classroom:
First, I have learned to do my homework right after school. I learned this the hard way throughout middle school; I procrastinated my homework. Now, I have realized that I feel more confident in my homework if I complete it as fast as I can. I have found that I have been able to spend my time in other activities, and haven't had to stress about procrastinating a homework assignment.
Second, my friend offered to help me tutor for service hours and also to help my testing scores in a college level math class. It has been a wonderful experience, and has helped me understand where I am making my mistakes in the math problems. I have learned to look at a problem in different ways. I am so grateful that he has helped give me confidence in my work.
One of the more important things I have learned is that putting people before myself actually helps me in the end. My cousin once mentioned this to me when I was stressed with too many things to accomplish in so little time. She told me this exact thing, "Put people first, and you will find you will have time for the other things." This has helped me put things into perspective. I have been able to spend more time with my family, helping my friends, and serving others around me. I do, however, set time to do my homework right after school, but when I have a list of things to do, I know that the top things on my list should be to help the people around me.
These are the three most important issues that have helped learn outside the classroom. I know that I save more time, and worry less, if I endure through my homework. Having a friend help tutor me with math has helped me with testing scores. Putting things into perspective by realizing that people come before a list of things to do has helped me gain a greater knowledge of service. I have found that I can accomplish so many more things if I keep these things in mind. My life seems to run smoother and has helped enhance my knowledge.
