My relationship with education starts in first grade, as that is the earliest memory I have of my education. I’m still friends with a lot of the people that were in that class. In particular one of my best friends who I still talk too every day. We started off on the wrong foot if I remember correctly an ended up not liking each other for the first half of the school year. Until we eventually became friends and started helping each other out with our schoolwork. We would go over each others houses and do projects together and our friendship grew. Middle school came and he later went on to become an honors student, leaving me for dead. I think at this point in time is when my education and knowledge for understanding peaked. As I was always with my friend working together, I was now on my own, forced to expand my mind. I found my self participating more and even getting higher grades, as a result of trying to compete with my friend. I never made honors society but throughout middle school I maintained an eighty eight average. When high school came I believed I was well prepared now carrying over confidence from middle school. I did well freshman year, not so much the other three years. However I did do well in some classes. In result to this I personally feel I know my learning type. I know when I’m doing well in a class, and when not based on how I personally learn. So even though I didn’t exceed high expectations throughout high school I walked away with something positive. I know my learning type, I know what questions to ask to help me understand better, I know what I have to see to understand something better, and I know what I have to do to self improve in a class now. Every one understands things differently, but not everyone knows how to comprehend things to understand better. Everyone has a different story about there relationship with education but that’s mine.
