Is Happiness in education? We may never know many students believe that education is just a pathway to money or the only reason they should attend school is because they parents suggested it. So are they any true meaning of happiness in education? Students have been lead to believe that it’s something to dislike or not want to do. Why can’t some students enjoy education for it values.
Throughout my life I have always learn that school wasn’t something I was suppose to enjoy but something I have to endure to move further in life. While attend school during my primary school days I began to hate school more and more , asking myself why do I have to wake up , why do I have to do work , why, why, why I was basically taught by others that it was the way I was suppose to act when it came to school. In addition Daniel Goleman states “Psychologists agree that IQ contributes only about 20 percent of the factors that determine success” (85) so why was I to believe what everyone else thought was right, it was up to me to have opinions about education.
As I got older and older I realize I might as well make the best of it since I’m going to attend it for the most part of my life. Also everything I wanted to be was involving school for some reason, that’s when the friends with different mentalities about school held conversations with me. I later realize that if I wanted to enjoy school I would have to adjust to a different mentality about school .since I was earlier taught that school was just a stepping stone in life. I was getting grades that was pretty good for an high school student but when I got a A+ I was over joy , Of course it was in clinical class where I got to be hands on. I taught to myself that maybe a hands on job was for me instead of the typical desk job where I didn’t enjoy sitting at all. In fact it taught me that sitting and learning wasn’t for me. Is happiness in education I taught? It was happiness when A is being provided or when children accomplish something.
As a college in sophomore I have learn how to adjust to have happiness in education. Yes after many years of school I have endure many reasons why not to enjoy school. But looking back at the cons of why I didn’t have happiness it was an upfront explanation. But I’m pretty much 99.9 % sure that happiness can be found as long as you’re doing it for the right reasons. I found that hand-on education was what I enjoy hopefully others can look deeper into the concept of education other than just books and homework.
