Learning Experience

We are in the classroom since pre-school to elementary to secondary then college or tertiary. Our knowledge and skills evolved from the simple ABC's and counting 1, 2, 3. As we became older, we learn more and more things not only from teachers and books but also from classmates and friends. We also learn that there is more learning outside the four walls of the classroom and that application can be done best in real life situations. We realize that the score or grade you get in every exam or in every subject is not really the measurement of your knowledge and understanding.

In the university, there are students who failed in the subject not because of failed exams but due to excessive absences. However, there are professors who do not check for attendance and in case like this, there are students who get high grades even without attending the class regularly provided that he or she will take the exam and submit the requirements. Thus there are countless ways of enjoying and striving in college.

We are learners and will always be students even after we receive our college diploma. There is more to learn outside the campus and more mistakes to commit in our lives. Yet the challenge is, how can we practice what we learn? Experience is the best teacher as an old adage says.
