I believe that an “experience bank” is a place where everything we been through goes. We experience new things every day and all of these experiences go into our “experience bank” for us to learn from and help us in the future. All of these experiences shape you into who you are today. Throughout your life, these experiences will make you wise, more knowledgeable, and helps us teach others. By having an “experience bank” we are able to look back on our experiences and prepare ourselves for the future. I have many experiences saved in my “experience bank”. Throughout the class, I used a lot of my experiences during the class discussions and the online discussions that we had to do. Many of the books we read and the discussions about the books

I would always come up with some type of excuse or reasoning behind being wrong and I would never admit it. Up until this semester, I didn’t think anything was wrong with doing this. That was until I read the book Being Wrong By Kathryn Schulz. Throughout her book, She says how it’s okay to be wrong, everybody is wrong. You just need to admit and you will be a lot happier. It’s hard to learn from your mistakes if you never admit them and without learning from them, you will make the mistakes over and over again. One of my favorite quotes from Being Wrong is “If you really want to be right,...you have to start by acknowledging your fallibility, deliberately seeking out your mistakes, and figuring out what caused you to make them”(). I really like this quote because it has pushed me to admit my mistakes. I don’t to make the same mistakes again and the only way to make sure you are not, is to admit them and learn from them. I still struggle from time to time with coming up with some excuse or reason but I am becoming better at not doing that. My goal for my future is to keep working hard at admitting my mistakes so that I learn more from them and not make the mistakes …show more content…
I have learned so many things from Moore. Not only did I read his book, but I got to hear him talk and tell us his experiences through convocation. He has taught me to work hard for what I want and never settle for anything less. One of the biggest pieces of advice that I took from The Work was to not be scared for the future and that it’s okay not to have everything figured out. Wes Moore said “Our adult lives begin with a first moment of stillness. We leave school and there’s no next grade to go to, no one to tell us how to spend our time”(). To me, This is a very powerful quote. I have always been worried and scared for my future. A lot of my friends and family already have their whole lives planned out. My parents were married and had kids by 18, my grandpa knew by the age 16 that he wanted to run his own ambulance company and be successful, and then there 's me who doesn’t even know what I want to do tomorrow. But after seeing this quote and sitting down and figuring out what it means to me. I became way more comfortable not knowing how my life was going to turn out and how I have nothing planned for my future other than a few dreams. I’m not scared anymore about that first moment of stillness after college. I’m ready for that day because I know that with hard work and pushing myself through these next 4 years, My future will be great and I will be able to do whatever I want. I will get a job that I
