After thinking about so many different things that have come and gone in life, learning is an ever present challenge that is a continuous climb and march. One of the biggest things I've noticed is how the amount of readings haven't changed from high school to college and how they haven't really had a major impact on my education.
I say this because I don't always have the time or motivation to sit down and read twenty pages for a day that may or may not be referenced during class. So many of them are there for our benefit but never discussed in class, so it just feels like I can either read them and possibly learn more or spend more time on other assignments that are worth more in the long run. Just as it is in college, it was the same in high school but they at least focused on a little aspect of the reading in class when it was due. Despite that, the readings did not majorly effect my grades and I still made it into college. Looking at how far I've come from high school, I realize I could be a lot further along mentally had I read or continued to read, but in terms of learning from the readings it does little for long-term growth. After being able to watch and experience things first-hand, I notice that my growth immediately jumps with my understanding because I was able to do the thing instead of read about doing the thing. Reading is a lot different than doing and I find myself benefiting more from what I need to do than what I need to read about. While it would still be important to try and stay on top of readings assigned, I find my educational experiences growing better from doing than worrying about any readings.
