I would love to be able to draw, animate, sing, speak multiple languages, write the next Harry Potter, or play whatever song I felt like on random instruments and would take any skill, but I would like to get better at learning so I can do it all even if it took more time. When I was a kid I did well in school, I was reading small chapter books by kindergarten and was excited when we finally were allowed to check out nonfiction books from the library, I was doing algebra in elementary school, and I loved it. But school was mind numbingly easy. Until it wasn't. After years of being able to just look at a problem and know the answer we finally started getting into things I didn't know or couldn't fully grasp within a class period and I had no idea what to do with myself. Or when showing work became more of a focus and a large part of the grade and I had to convert my just looking at a problem and knowing the answer into proofs and paperwork. That made even less sense to me. I began to suck at school. Which made me check even more. I still like learning new things, but I lack the studying techniques and focus to really master any specific skill. But I have basic skills and general knowledge in a lot of different areas. Interesting. Learning is a great skill. It is a shame, though, that modern school's more about learning to play the system to get good grades than actually learning new material to broaden intellectual horizons. --- http://TinyURL.com/Learn2Learn101 - My advice for college and writing academically http://TinyURL.com/SirNintendolot - My YouTube channel (SMM2: NDH-JF7-HGF) <cite>Tails 64 posted [p:942654840] in If you cou...
