When I was a kid, I liked going to school mostly because I got to see my friends. But I didn’t always enjoy the actual lessons. It sometimes felt like we were just being told what to do without understanding why it was important. I think I would have enjoyed school more if we had been given more responsibility for our learning, like adults are.

I think children and adults learn differently. Children usually rely on their teachers to guide them through the process and make most of the decisions for them. For adults, it’s more about self-direction. Adults like to know why they’re learning something, and they want it to be practical and relevant. They bring their own experiences into learning, which is something kids don’t always have yet.

Learning is crucial for adults because the world keeps changing, and we need to keep up. It’s not just about staying competitive in the job market; learning helps us grow personally too. It gives us new skills and perspectives that make us better at handling life’s challenges. Plus, being able to apply what we learn immediately makes it even more valuable as adults.
