Teachers and professors often demand students to learn so much material that it causes them to stress over the fact that he doesn't want to flunk. Instead of causing this, they should be able to create environments and relationships for learning, making students feel comfortable and eager to learn. This should help us, the students, develop understanding and judgement that will enable action.
Usually, when Senior Year arrives, most students don't know what to study. A possible reason for this may be that they haven't had the opportunity to stop and get to know themselves, what do they feel passionate about. College opens so many doors to you that high school didn't. For once, you have the liberty to make decisions not being forced to let others make them for you.
Being educated is to know a little bit of everything, what is out there. For example, the School of General Studies in the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus, focuses on the formation of the student, by "teaching and interdisciplinary research, integration of knowledge and artistic creation. Faculty enriches the cultural and intellectual environment of the University through co - curricular activities, service liaises with the community and develops partnerships and international alliances. Therefore, it promotes the ability to know, evaluate and act within Puerto Rican, Caribbean and global reality."
You don't learn every tool you will need to survive life in a book. There are two things you take with you when you die: the knowledge you acquired throughout your life and the experiences. Keep that in mind.
If you have a little time, please hear these words of our soon to become former President Barack Obama says about education.
