I Learned...

My Creative Teaching teacher gave us a copy of his compilation of really good readings about creativity, education, life, etc. I'm loving it! An article talking about some learnings of people from different ages inspired me. It's weird that we learn things differently. It's funny that we don't acquire a certain knowledge the same age as other people do. The important thing is that all these matter in our life. We could still pick up from the things that we learned when we were young. I've thought of mine...

• When I was five or six, I learned that no matter how hard I would cry, Tay and Mom would still go to work and that sleeping could help me forget that. A few minutes after I'd wake up, Tay would already return to fetch me from Nanay's house.
• I also learned at five or six, that if I'd follow the grown-ups, they would give me some stuffs I liked.
• In Kinder, I learned that some of my classmates could be nicer than the others and that I could notice a boy in a unique way. Haha!
• In third grade, I learned that not all my classmates who seemed to have lots of money were rich.

• In the same year, I learned that wanting to be in the honor roll could affect friendship.

• In sixth grade, I learned that a teacher could like some kids better than she did the others and that some of my classmates could be my true friends.
• When I was in first year high school, I found out that dancing can be learned if you really want to. It's better though if you start learning it early.
• In second year, I learned that I can't dance, play scrabble, run, and recite a poem at the same time.
• In third year, I learned that I could perfect Math problems if I would just be given enough time to solve them.
• In fourth year, I learned that I couldn't be with my classmates forever.
• When I was in first year college, I learned that I should ask the jeepney driver first if they'd pass Katipunan. I had to ride wrong jeepneys for me to remember which jeepney would pass it and which would not.
• In third year, I learned that I could be good at speaking if I'd only prepare and do my best.
• In my OJT days, I learned how fast money goes. From the moment I left home and ride a tricycle, I would already have to spend it.
• In fourth year, I learned that I couldn't be a student all my life.
• At 21, when I started working, I learned that it's difficult to clean the bathroom.
• At 22, I learned that men could just be very friendly.
• At 23, I learned that changing an environment and doing something else really help people to forget.
• At 24, I learned that I can be I can also do art works.
