Coates — Education & Inquiry

Reflect on Your Own Learning. What has your formal education been like up to now? What kind of student were you? What drove you? What were the values of your school? Did they fit you? What have been your most formative informal learning experiences? In what way were they different from your formal education? Have you been encouraged to ask questions? Were there particular people who impacted you or methods that you used to learn about things you did not know? What do you expect your college education will be like (what do you want out of it)?

my formal education has been good lately i was always the student who wouldn’t pay attention because i thought i was doing something not knowing that in the future that would’ve affected me the values they had were to respect one another and let others speak and speak when they were asked to and they didn’t fit me because i was a trouble maker and never cared about my grades i just went because that’s all i had to do in school and never really did my work but then my teachers put some common sense and I started to do my work then they were different because they didn't care if i succeeded or fail they just didn't they never checked up on me why i had those grades or why i didn't try so as well i didn't as well and i got to learn from a teacher that said i’am willing to work with you and help you get your grades up and i did i expect my college experience to be good and make it to the place my parents couldn't because they were in mexico and the corrupt president didn't allow people to go to college in that i mean that he didn't give no type of financial aid at all so it made it harder for people to do something out there and i want to be someone important but ill do all that with god by my side.
