THE POWER OF PERSPECTIVE

in The Ink Well7 months ago

"I once braved a challenging chemistry course (ugh, I still shudder at the thought, as I've always hated chemistry), determined to conquer it. I attended every class, scribbled detailed notes, and devoured the textbooks, but I still struggled to understand the material.

Despite my efforts, my grade was a disappointing E - a harsh reminder that I just wasn't getting it. Feeling defeated, I confided in a friend, expecting him to pinpoint my mistakes. Instead, he gently revealed that I was merely scratching the surface. 'Reading and understanding aren't enough,' he said.
"You need to go deeper, ask questions, make connections, and think critically." In that moment, I realized I had been focusing on just passing the course rather than truly understanding the material. It was a tough pill to swallow, but I learned a valuable lesson: reading is just the beginning. To truly succeed, you need to engage, think critically, and make connections. I vowed to approach future courses with a new mindset, one that goes beyond just reading the words on the page."
Anyways I do not do chemistry anymore and I am happy.
