At first, I didn't know what the usefulness of school was because when I started going to school all I was thinking about was how to play with my friends and then come back home in the afternoon to eat from my mom's pot, lol funny right? That's every child's way of thinking.
But later when I started getting used to school I developed an interest in some subjects and the fact that there will be a position for everyone makes me want to do more.
In the process, I found interesting how school was and I was getting used to it gradually even though not every subject I enjoy doing but the one I love I don't like missing them.
Due to the pressure I feel to succeed in school and avoid disappointing my father, life as a student is neither funny nor relaxing.
The happiness I experienced as a student
When I was a student, there was one thing in particular that I loved: the practical guidance I received. There are many topics, however, because I enjoy doing practical things so much, I truly don't like any topics without them.
I am glad that I was able to learn how to be a great Engineer via my interest in a practical course. I have been able to provide for my family because I learned a lot about Engineering in school. Without the assistance of practical experience, I would not be in this line of work today.
I used to enjoy taking practical classes as a student since they provided a more thorough explanation than simply having a class that is all about theoretical aspects only.
No matter how sad I am or how worse the situation is, when it is time for practical time my mood is always lively because practical gives me another dimension of learning. If not for the help of practicality in school back then I wouldn't have known some things that I am doing in my field right now.
It is good to have a basic knowledge of something before getting into it, and all thanks for those days that I was a student. One of my class teachers noticed that I don't really pay attention to theory in the class except for practicals and he called me and then told me to never give up on practicals, because any student who knows how to handle practicals perfectly can become their own boss after school.
I remember when I was given a project when I was in school then about soil tests. I traveled to different states in my country to acquire some information. On the day of defense, all the supervisors applauded my hard work and they requested a duplicate of the results of the test.
Ever since then I never stopped loving practicality in school and the training I got in school has been paving the way for me. This experience has affected my life positively because the kind of work I am doing now deals with practical matters.
The fact that I was taught a good practical in school gives me joy now because if not for the foundation I wouldn't have found it easy to do now.
