Week One: How do we learn?

Education is at the core of my motivation: I was never an achiever or at least I don't see myself as such. Actually, to be honest, I didn't quite like school. Except for a few classes and teachers, but overall for my friends and having fun there. I though started to really learn when I found purposeful what I was doing: languages didn't matter to me until my 3rd year of Elementary when I was enroled in a summer course. From then on I started to love some subjects like languages and writing. The first time I had the chance to use my L2 in a real context I felt compelled to keep learning. Thus, real-life situations have been the fuel for me to keep learning. After a maturation process though, I started to like more and more subjective topics and philosophical quests. To this day I keep a dual outlook and insight into education, looking at it as a perfect blend between both practical and philosophical aiming to develop the Being.

For me to learn effectively I need... real-life situations, encouragement and positive feedback from tutors, as well as a space where I can feel free in spatial and ideological terms.
