Why Learning Matters

Written By Colēgia

As students, we are all learners and school gives us the chance to do that in a fun environment. There are many different reasons why learning can help us in our lives which is why today we want to talk about why it matters.

Honing Your Skills

Learning gives us the unique opportunity to discover things that we may not know we have a talent for. Having an environment where you can hone your skills can let you find new ways to innovate and improve at what you love. School gives us a safe space to learn about new things and one of the best examples of this is extracurricular activities. These are voluntary things that we do based on our own free time and they are typically done with other students. These showcase different things that we may have an interest in such as sports or science-based classes. Both of these allow us to pursue things we love with others and can help us improve in them as well. A sports class for example can teach you fundamentals such as proper form and breathing techniques. A computer science class can give you the chance to learn about more in-depth concepts such as programming and infrastructure. These are just some of the many examples of learning out there but being open to self-improvement can go a long way for your well-being.

Appreciating Things More

Gratitude and appreciation for the things you learn are important as many of us are very fortunate to have a good education. Education is something we often take for granted and there are many reasons why we need to be mindful of it. Learning reminds us that there are new opportunities available everywhere. It gives us the chance to meet new people and understand who they are and where they come from. Learning lets us discover who we are, what motivates us, and what we truly care about. Learning teaches us that self-improvement is something that is worth striving for as it can help make us a more well-rounded individuals. The most important thing about learning is that it is inherently a fun thing to do.

Being Independent

One of the last major benefits to learning is that it teaches us to be independent. This matters immensely as we ultimately want to be lifelong learners who can stand on our own. There won't always be a teacher to help us through things and being able to find the value in learning for yourself can show you an entirely new means of independence. Learning how to practice things such as self-care can help us in many situations. A good example of this would be learning how to properly research different things. This alone allows you to use the wealth of information and knowledge available in a manner that is conducive to how you best retain information. Adaptability and flexibility are two of the most important aspects of learning and this type of independence fosters those qualities.
