Reflection on my Learning Experiences

I have many experiences outside of learning outside of schools on my learning line. I believe that this because school cannot teach you everything and there are some things you need to find out in other ways. For example, I consider the Sea Scouts a great learning experience because even though I was in primary school at the time, it taught me a lot of valuable life skills such as raising a tent or the most basic of survival skills. After this, while I was still in primary school, the annual District Athletics tournaments showed me a strong competitive instinct first-hand. It also spoke to me about losing and how to take those defeats. Perhaps this alone is the most important thing that I learned before secondary school. Gifted and Talented Summer Schools held in my secondary school really pushed my learning boundaries and as well as raise awareness of problems on a massive picture such as global warming, it became the first real test of how much I know and what I can do in a given day. Overall, it is my opinion that school can teach me so much but the best lessons are learned outside of it.
