Roughly 20 years ago my education began.
Pre-School: I learned to be horrified of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.
Kindergarten: I learned the alphabet from The Letter People, and the importance of naps.
1st Grade: I officially became "okay" at reading.
2nd Grade: I had my first experience of walking/riding bike to school every day.
3rd Grade: I learned how to walk to school in 3 feet of snow.
4th Grade: I finally knew what it felt like to break a bone.
5th Grade: I officially began really appreciating how awesome it was to live so close to all the historical sites in Boston.
6th Grade: I learned about barrier islands in Georgia and how trips are the best way for people to grow closer together.
7th Grade: I learned about AOL instant messenger and found a social outlet through it.
8th Grade: I learned how to say goodbye to good friends, and how much fun Algebra was.
9th Grade: I learned how crazy it is going to a school with over 2000 people.
10th Grade: I don't remember 10th grade. At least I don't think I do.
11th Grade: I finally decided to learn how to drive, and discovered that I really liked editing videos.
12th Grade: I learned to find minimal enjoyment out of High School, and became obsessed with politics.
Freshmen Year: I learned how awesome roommates are and the importance of getting involved in things early.
Sophomore Year: I learned that I hated Computer Engineering, and that I apparently had more extroverted tendencies than I originally thought.
Junior Year: I began seeing God's vision for my life while also learning what it felt to have my jaw wired shut for 3 weeks.
Second Junior Year: I learned first hand about living in Asia and really got a huge global perspective on life.
Senior Year: I gained experience in Industrial Engineering by working with a real manufacturing company, and I learned the importance of working with other students to study, do homework, and do projects. Finally, I learned what I wanted to do after graduating!
In just 2 days, I'll be done with the last exam of my undergraduate career. 83% of my life has been spent in school. "Next" has already started, and though my education is possibly over, I see a lot more learning in my future! Let's get this fun stuff started!
