Reflections on becoming

Studying to pass

in

If you are reading this, most probably, you’ve gone to school. To be exact, you’ve spent more than 15 years in school.

I am not sure about you, but for me, it felt like I went to school to pass exams. For sure, I learned a couple of things, but most of the years I spent was about acing the tests and getting a good mark.

When I wanted to learn further, I chose not to because it steals the time I should spend studying for tomorrow’s exam. I think it was always like that. How about you?

I think it begins to dawn on others too. And it makes the idea of learning a waste of time.

Unless learning is something you choose to do, it doesn’t sound like learning to me at all.

Simply put, you learned to ride a bike because you chose to, not because someone asked you. And the learning process was way more fun because you were there to learn, not just to pass.
