My experiences with education in the past have been slightly disappointing. When I first started going to school I lived in Queens, I often transferred schools not due to any real particular reason it’s just that my parents would change their mind about a school really frequently. This caused me to not really build any relationship with any of the teachers or students I’ve met because I felt as though it wouldn’t last so there was no point. After I graduated 8th grade I moved to the Bronx to start high school, again I felt as though building a bond with anyone would be pointless. However, after my first year 2 years I realized I’m going to be here to stay and I urged myself to make the best with where I am. I became more interactive in the classroom and attempted to participate more, and since I was more engaged in the classroom my level of understanding of the topic increased. I learned that by regardless of the situation, if you are determined to learn and you socialize with the person/people your learning from and learning with you get a better understanding by viewing their perspective.

I agree with you that when we communicate with each other we learn better and we also learn better when we focus on something instead of running away from it.
