learning two.zero

There are many things that need to change in the educational system. Every person learns in a different way and should not be put down for how slow or fast they learn. Some people can’t learn from just being lectured or reading out of a book, but needs to be hands on and something they are actually interested in.

I have a friend that has a tough time learning and remembering information. All throughout high school, she was always in special ed classes and she was always embarrassed to tell people until one day she stopped hiding from it and was open to her disability. Many teachers told her that she had a very slim chance of getting into college and if she did, let alone pass any of her classes. The motivation she had really inspired me and I really look up to her. She applied to many colleges around Utah and was accepted to pretty much all of them. She chose to go to Dixie, so she could be close to her family and friends. She passed all of her classes and now she is going into nursing. I have never seen someone work so hard for something, struggle in the process, but still have such a positive attitude about everything.


Learning can be easy for some and difficult for others but we should find ways to help everyone in a way that makes them want to learn. There is always room for improvement in the educational system. I’m not sure how but there are always ways.

  1. You are right. Learning is an individual process and the problems arise when we compare our learning process to others. Learning isn't a race; there is no prize at the end because in life there is no end to learning.
