Gettin Dat Edjamacation Homie!

I strongly feel like I learn so much outside of school then in the actual school. Well, not all the time, but most times. Like in my AP English class I am always learning something new because I'm presented with many new ideas from different people. Not necessarily different culturally, but mentally and demographically. Not to be a suck up, but Lamags basically teaches us how to view things in our world critically, interpreting ideas that the media or anyone has. i can't look at a commercial, ad, or anything without thinking HHWLT (How the Hell Would Lamags Think?). And I think that is important because I can actually apply what I've learned from class and use it in the real world. But that doesn't happen with every class. That's why I feel I learn more doing non-academic activities. I'm out in the real world, dealing with real people, being influenced by all of these different ideas, attitudes, and mentalities. I think that sports is also more meaningful because they really do teach teamwork, and getting along with other people, even when you don't like them. (Even though our team is like all BFF's...kinda). And I think that's an important aspect to have because you may be working somewhere that you love and there is that one annoying person that you are forced to work with all the time, but you can learn to be cordial for the greater goal of the whole company.
