Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt not in school.
School is very important, and it plays a huge role in our lives and the lives of people around us. It is where knowledge is being imparted and also a training centre for humans. Despite how important school is to humans and the development it brings to the community, there is no doubt that school is very important because it helps to reshape man, but there are things that are not taught in school. Some of the things we know today are as a result of lessons that life taught us, and we also learn from other people's life experiences.
Believe me, school is not the only place to learn; you can actually learn anywhere. In school they only taught us about the theoretical aspect of life and not the practical aspect. When you are done with school, you have to find a way to navigate life and its challenges. One thing about learning is it never ends; we learn every day of our lives. Most of the things that I know today were not taught in school; I had to find my growth after school. Every single day I step out of my apartment, there is a lesson that I must learn.
There are thousands of things that the four walls of school didn’t teach me. I wish that school taught me how to navigate the challenges of life, but it is not taught in school. I get to learn this on my own: that life is not a bed of roses. You don’t need to sit in the comfort zone and expect manna to fall from heaven. After school, I learnt that if you will survive, you need to go out there and hustle. Life is not about finding x but about how to survive. I get to gather my own lessons myself.
I used to think that once I had my certification, everything would be so easy for me. I realised this after my education; I searched for a job for years without finding one. Back then, eating was war because there was food for me to eat. Life really tormented me. I am among people that see school as a way to sail through life. I was wrong because life has a way of hitting you with its challenges, and you will realise that school can’t solve the challenge. That is why most people always say that school is a scam. During that period I am glad I opened my heart to those challenges, knowing that is also a way of learning. And it has really helped shape me in life.
Generally, there are many things we learn outside the four walls of school life. It taught me how to survive, not to trust anybody, and how to create ideas. When I look at myself and how far I have gone, I am so happy and grateful. The greatest lesson life has taught me is patience.
Always know that school is not the only place you can learn; learning happens everywhere and every day. Always be ready to learn.
This is my response to the #hivelearners weekly prompts #hl-w176e2 topic, not in school.
