The Most Important Lessons Learned

Improved Essays
In life, there are many situations in which we wish we could go back and fix, but also there are situations where if we could go back and had a chance to redo it we wouldn’t because of the lessons we’ve learned from the outcomes. Some lessons that are learned are more important than the others, some of them are more obvious than the others too. Some take time for you to really fully understand the lesson. Most lessons I have learned throughout the years have been outcomes of me doing stupid things in which I knew not to do but I proceeded to do them anyways. But there have been some that have been a learning step for me.

Some were not as important as the others, but still good lessons overall. The first lesson would be although you may not want to admit it but in the end, parents really do know everything and what’s good for you in the long run. Although it may seem what they are telling you to watch out for may sound crazy at first but in the end, they are most the time completely right. They have been doing this thing called life longer than you and have more experience with people and know how things usually work out. Also, I learned although you may have always been raised to help others out and to be nice to everyone. There comes a time when you have to know your limits and just have to bit the bullet and put yourself in front of others. One last thing was when working for your own money, although it may be hard and not really worth it at times, in the end, its always better have your own money rather than spending your parent’s money. Things seem to be better when paying for them with your own, hard working money. Although these lessons were not very evident to me after they happened, with time they became more clear to me and have made a big impact on the way I live life

    In the stories “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, and “The Struggle to be an All American Girl” by Elizabeth Wong, and the poem “Indian Boarding School: The Runaways” by Louise Erdrich, each of the writers focus on the positive and negative aspects of education. While part of the setting for Louise Erdrich’s poem and Elizabeth Wong’s story take place inside an actual school, the setting for Toni Cade Bambara’s story doesn’t take place inside a school; however, for all three stories, the characters in them are taught very important lessons. When I think about the three readings it reminds me that we have important lessons in our life that we have to learn from. Everyone has a lesson they have to learn in life no matter what it is…

    After arriving to Wood Middle School as I would on any other day, I walked into the bustling commons area and noticed a herd of students scattered into their separate cliques. However, what immediately caught my eye was the number of teachers and administrators who clearly looked flustered and distressed. I soon left the commons area and headed towards the library to figure what exactly was going on. Sure enough, there was a cluster of teachers gazing at the library’s television in utter disbelief over what would soon become known as “The Stock Market Crash of 2008”. Even though I was only in the 6th grade, I still had enough competence to realize that this was not an ordinary day in the stock market.…

    That we need to not shove our elders in homes, but celebrate them and learn from them is the biggest lesson I have learned. I learned that dementia doesn’t have to be seen as some terrible deadly disease, but just another thing some people have to adjust to along the road and it makes like different but life can still be fulfilling. Studying creative aging, ethnomusicology, applied research, and ethnographic scholarship through film shaped my learning process in a lot of different ways. The main thing I learned is that when learning things that apply to people they are REAL people with different experiences. You can’t just generalize people.…
