Rose's Text

The questions at the end of Rose’s text about his school experience are ones that are provocative and really get your mind thinking and comparing his experiences in school to your own. For me at least it is quite helpful in getting the gears turning towards the Narrative paper we are going to be writing. It has been almost ten years since I was really in school. I have taken some college classes here and there but never enough at once to be fully immersed in it, not like now. A lot of what is talked about in these questions not only applies to the sort of education you receive in school but to education you might get out of real life experiences. They are all questions that could be applied to any sort or learning situation. And I guess after thinking on that for a little while that is what I have started to think of. What sort of learning experiences have I had, both formally and in real life? How were they copped with? What strategies were used in working through them?  We as people get so caught up in everyday living that sometimes we forget to reflect upon ourselves and experiences, which is, I feel, an important part of learning. Because if you don’t take time to reflect upon what is learned, how will you remember? And how will you truly learn from them?
