Our Coming of Age Movie
so
all of us go to high school and i’m sure
that some of us have taken classes that
we only took
because it was an ap class it would
increase our gpa
or it would look good on our resume the
information that those classes teach us
usually in one year and comes out the
other
let me set the scene for you guys all
right it’s three a.m but the clock is
ticking
your knees weak and palms are straight
there’s a vomit but it’s not mom’s
spaghetti
is the information sprawled out in front
of you that’s not getting in your brain
your test tomorrow
and now you all think i’m sidekick
this night in routine is the reality to
our aesthetic lifestyle youtuber
expectation
for most of our lives we’re told that
this dedication to secure that high
grade is what determines our quality of
life in the future
it’s what separates us from failure to
success
when in reality the idea of education
stems from what those grades represent
mastering skills and knowledge
applicable in the big scared to the
point for more eminem songs to come to
life
when we do textbook studying textbooks
studying like
rereading highlighting underlining and
even flashcards
they’re not as reliable for us to retain
information
because we just familiarize it
familiarity deals with the prefrontal
cortex
another thing that takes place there is
short-term memory
this is why textbook learning is not as
reliable because all that information is
being stored as short-term memory
experiential learning on the other hand
involves interaction
observation and recollection and all
that is necessary for that short-term
memory to convert to long-term memory
this is why experiential learning is
more reliable because we’ll be able to
retain that information
and to recall that information later on
when you learn something it certifies
that acquiring the experience
of the skills to do that task this
idealistic education
incorporates experiential learning
experiential learning is when educators
purposefully engage learners in a direct
experience rather than learning from a
textbook
experiential learning is when we as
students learn from a direct experience
rather than learn from a textbook it
allows us
to have opportunities to test out many
passions and to create
different intersections of different
hobbies experiential learning is
vastly different from an eminem song
it’s your very own coming of age movie
while integrating this form of education
we take it one step further
by experiencing the complexity and the
experienceable use
of the information we gain through
shadowing
projects that utilize the community as
its own classroom
and showcasing the application of
textbook topics
in real life situations hybrid learning
becomes one that deepens the meaning of
everything we learn
medicine becomes more than just
memorizing brain cards
where we but instead it makes us think
about the morality and the trust needed
in every physician’s diagnosis
literature becomes more than just
writing laying essays where we value the
rubric
but instead is the vehicle of political
cultural and racial developments
on a global and local scale and math
becomes more than dreaded
that means reddit integrals but instead
the key to getting rich
i mean the statistics of economic growth
george zika the founding director of the
national survey
of student engagement noted in the
article of higher education
and stated that working during college
has been related to acquiring employer
preferred skills
such as teamwork and time management he
also stated that these skills
help students see firsthand the
practical value of their classroom
topics being applied in real life
settings which additionally
often helps students clarify
their career aspirations this is truly
important for us to understand
because when we learn something when we
learn a curriculum that aligns itself
with the classes in the future we will
be able to make decisions
that we’ll be able to make decisions
that allow us to explore tasteful
portions
of careers that we are interested in
pursuing
at the end of it all when we
have new experiences and diversify a
test into multiple real humane journeys
we will be able to make we will be able
to make decisions that allow us
to be a
youtuber with your life all together in
your own community
thank you
