Process Essay: How Do People Perceive Things?

Improved Essays
One thing that all humans have in common is the fact that we are always aging. We are always learning something new and putting our new knowledge to work. As we age we become better at perceiving things, this happens because we learn new things that can lead to viewing something differently or completely change how we perceive something. I personally think that every day you have a chance to view something in a different light or have a chance to change something in your life. With perception, age does matter, because a baby isn’t going to be able to judge a situation or completely be aware of something that is going on as well as a human who is fifty years old. And a ninety-one-year-old isn’t going to be as aware as a healthy thirty-year-old. Everyone has a sense of perception but how you perceive something can be different than others.

As you learn and grow older your perception on life can and will change. I have learned that you should never take a moment for granted. This is something that people always say but people never really take seriously. You never know how much time you really have so I try to perceive in more of a positive sense and try to find the good in everything. I think that my experiences don 't stand out from the crowd I tend to be laid back and know to never take a moment for granted. Most of my friends have left for college and we have all started our own thing. School is the most important thing right now and I find that I am learning new things that has changed my perception on life and how I learn.

    I would say that I learned the most about what it really means to have time management after this semester. Entering my first semester of college I had blind faith in the University, and myself because I believe everything would just work out and I would pass because it was meant to be. However, fate and hope are no the things to help you life as a new college student. The drive to wake up, attend class, finish homework, and accept the new responsibility that had been placed in my novice hands diminished greatly as the non-academic temptations became to creep in my head. I must be honest with you and let you know that I did cave and willingly participate in the sweet release of social experiences.…

    I have learned how to work hard and I could study for hours on end now, however I don’t think that would be healthy physically or mentally, and definitely not socially. I want to learn how to study in a way that I can get things to stick inside my head more quickly and in a way that I will know how I can apply what I learned to my life. in short I want to learn how to learn better! Lastly one of my biggest weaknesses has been my confidence in myself and in the work that I do. I have always been quiet in class and have not participated near as much as I should have just because of my lack of confidence in myself and in my work.…

    The thing is though is that everything isn't perfect, everything has negatives and it is always the negatives that are always outshining the positives because people want something perfect but that will never happen. Technology is an ever changing man made creation, it gets updated and changed on a daily basis making us have to adapt more and more. That's why if you accept change in your life and like how the articles say that children are the most willing people to change because they have grown up with technology making it the easiest for them to be used to this daily change. Technology a year ago is not the same it is today, being more advanced and leaning towards the more hands free type of future and making us have to do less and less. Which a person like me thinks " oh so cool" and older generation person probably is totally opposed to it being they grew up being hands on and using problem solving without technologies help.…

    I have gone through a series of life events that have made me care less about others, because I feel that it keeps leaving me isolated each time. However, after taking Introduction to Ethics I have realized that we all go through this process as it is bound in our lives that will lose others who are close to us.

    I feel that most of the stuff that we learn in school from Pre-school to college we will never use. I have always looked at school as being a big guidebook that can show you the steps on how to handle a certain situation. You may revert back to your lesson but books cannot teach you how to handle life. Most of the things that I have learned is from life experience. When you are applying for a job they want you to have experience in the field that you applying to not just knowledge of the field.…

    Teachers, well they made it even easier because I could call on them last second in the semester and they would come ready to help me tackle whatever task it was that I needed to get done. From my parents’ relationship, to my friendships and teachers I created terrible habits and more so a terrible attitude. I was never grateful for their help and positive attitudes when I without a doubt should’ve been. I began losing “friends” because I was so selfish and only wanted them to help with my school work. All of this occurred because I wasn’t sure how to handle my emotions.…

This helps me realize that I am not alone in being bored with my school work sometimes and that at all times I should feel that somewhere a student I know has it worse, so respectively this article for me was mostly a gateway in a realm of empathy that I have even considered before. As a teacher obviously you want your students to be doing their homework, there will be inevitably some outliers of the person that never wants to do and never does or the one that does it immediately as it is assigned. Both opposite end of the spectrum of students is something most high school teacher are well familiar with as most of them rely on homework due to short class times as opposed to college level courses. This article has helped me try on cater individually to each student as best as one can to development those into better students perhaps even by the end of the year of my class.…

I like to procrastinate and I am very lazy when it comes to doing my work in advance. I always have trouble in starting my work early.
