How to be or become happy with education? The only way people will be happy with education is if they learn the way they like, and learn the most. Everyone has a different way in which they learn more and the most depending on your personality and the things that you like to do. But this is about how I would be happier in education and how to match it to who I am. I will happier if teachers taught the way that I learn the most and that's less reading for homework and more reading in class. I'm not the reader type of person I do read but I only get into it if the subject is interesting and sometimes reading homework can be really bored. How could I make my self read something that doesn’t call my attention at all? Maybe if I try to pay more attention in class the subject will become more interesting. But there are some things that the professors need to understand not everyone loves to write and read, they should try to assign other kind of assignments also.
First of all I need to find out the things I like the most and how my personality will match a perfect education. Do I like to seat there in a chair for over an hour and just listen to the profession. I can do it and I don’t mind it but the professor has to make it interesting so that students wont get bored seating there. Class needs to be fun sometimes, lets students move around and talk could help them to learn in an easier and fun way. A class activity is a real plus. Let students interact with each others and shared their own ideas about a reading or something. Group work is a better way of learning than individual works they shared ideas and comments between each other something that you don’t do when you work by yourself you get stock with ideas that you are not so sure about. Socializing with other students could make this happen but you can’t just do it if your professor doesn’t let you work in groups or assign group assignments.
I should start making my own goals, in a short run and a long run. Making my own personal goals and connecting them with school and achieving them will keep me motivated to keep going. It is not easy at all but if you make the right choices in life and don’t ever give up there will be nothing that you can’t do or achieve. Goals for every class which will be pass every class. If I start challenging myself to achieve goals will make help to make education more interesting in a way. Balancing my flow which Csikszentmihalyi describes as “a state in which one is immersed in an experience that is rewarding in and itself, a state which we feel we one with the experience, in which action and awareness are merged”. Sounds like a thing I can do but only when I’m doing things that I like to do, time goes by quick and it only feels like minutes. Having a mix of anxiety and boredom experiences to keep my flow balance and also learn how to manage my time better. I’m that kind of person that most of time waits till the last minutes to do my tasks, depending on what it is like homework most of the time I wait till the last minute to do it. I don’t see it helping me at all, maybe if I start diving my week into days, and hours. Have some specific days to do homework and study. I see that doing homework at the last minute it only irritates me more about school sometimes instead of helping me. But I also need the time which I will spend doing the things that I like, maybe if I try to study while listening to music helps me, I tried it before but I got too into the music and I completely forgot about studying.
It seems like the only way I could be happier with education is by making it the way I like to learn, but I don’t see that happening. Maybe I got to get use the way teachers teach but they all teach in a different way. Or changing my ways of learning which don’t sound like an easy thing to do. Performing my best in an English class will be to pay attention to the teacher and take notes of every important thing. But before this I have to be ready for a 2 hours class where is all going to be about reading and writing, things that I dislike a lot. Next time maybe I should chose a shorter class, but it will be the same because I will have to meet more with the class during the week. Meditation before class could help, it took away my headache the other day, but I still wasn’t so focus in class. I need to start focusing more in class, and stop thinking about other things that don’t have to do with the class but sometimes you just can’t stop thinking about your personal problems.
Therefore it shouldn’t be so hard to match my education to who I am and the ways I like to learn and learn the mist but it seems like it will most likely be up to the teacher and the way that they teach. It is up to them to decide the kind of work that will be given in class and the way they teach class to make it more interesting to students and not let them fell to sleep in class and keep them motivated. School won’t always be fun, there are times that you will have to take it serious and see that your future depends on the education that you have. Now it is up to you to match your personality the things that you like to do with your education, make sure that whatever you decide to do with your life is what you like to do.
