Learning Line

This is my learning line which shows some of the things I have learnt since I started school. I think that my time in college was when I learnt the most about what I wanted to do and I also learnt a lot about myself. Obviously infant school through to secondary school is where I learnt basic skills and gained some intelligence, but I feel college was when I started to gain valuable learning skills. I learnt a lot about design programmes and concepts, and also how to present work to make it stand out and look impressive. Although I did not enjoy the course as much as I thought I would have done, it still taught me valuable skills. After college I thought that I did not want to go to university so I was working for 2 years and I also learnt how to drive. I worked in a retail shop where I gained communication skills and I also got more confidence as I had to deal with customers and sort out whatever problems I came across. Eventually I started to get bored of what I was doing and realised that I really wanted to start learning more and further my education. I feel that because I took 2 years out of education I am more motivated to get work done and do it with the skills and confidence I have learnt from else where.

  1. Yes I think you are right - once you go to work you can see that studying is not as difficult as working, and you are far more receptive to the work than students who have just left college. You can also see the benefits of an university education
