The Whole Experience

Education refers to any experience that creates an impression on the mind.(citation?) One of the best ways of learning is through experience. Experiences leaves an impression on the mind that shapes an individual’s general character, attitudes, and habits or skills. Essentially, experiences influence how someone perceives certain material. How someone learns is unique to the individual, but distraction effects everyone commonly. Distraction is anything that prevents an individual to give full attention to the subject matter. Both technology and toys play a major impact in a student’s and child’s learning development. Within the readings of “How to Teach in an Age of Distraction” and “Toy’s” by Turkle and Bathes respectably, show an underlying connection of distraction. Technology and toys both play a role in the development of a student’s…

Like success, failure is many things to people. With a positive attitude, failure can become a learning experience to get your thoughts together in order to try again. The things we learn from failure can be fundamental for later success. Personally I have experienced failure one time in my life, and I was taught multiple things that I continue to carry with me throughout my daily life. A time where I experienced failure occurred in 2007. I was riding my horse, Cupcake. We were just doing our…

For breakfast on Tuesday, the 13th, I had another smoothie, which I enjoyed, as I always do. After my second class of the day I have an hour long break, during which I always go to Whole Foods to get coffee and lunch. Going out to pick up lunch seems pretty typical, at least in the Bay Area, despite the fact that it can be expensive, which is why I am glad I only have time to buy lunch out twice a week. At Whole Foods I got some fruit, made a salad at the salad bar, and some spring rolls from…

New experiences impact who you are as a person, but yet they are so easy to come by. New experiences come from everything- first time at a restaurant? That's a new experience. It may or may not come up again, but let's say the next time you are thinking about where to go for dinner you remember how much you loved the new place you tried?

Liberty is simply freedom. “The shortest definition I know is, liberty is freedom. It is, however, as important to know what it does not mean as it is to know what it does mean.” (Stewar) I cannot think of a better way to define liberty. Some may experience liberty in their personal lives because of many reasons. It is the right to speak one’s mind, voice opinions, and to decide who is going to lead a nation and that in itself is liberty. An example of liberty is a slave finally becoming free…

An experience i had like this was when i went scuba diving for the first time. My dad has been diving for a very long time, and i convinced him to take me with him when i was 10. I had always loved the ocean, so it was a very profound experience. We were staying at in a resort in Mexico, near Cancun. I’d been asking my dad to take me for years before, so they got me diving lessons at the UofA over the summer before. I was so excited when i got there, because i knew i was going to be able to go.…
