Learning

When I was a toddler I learned from my Nana, Nano, Mom, Dad and other adult influences like my Tio’s and Tia’s. When I was told don’t touch the fire it will burn you or don’t eat that you’ll get a tummy ache I learned not to do that because I can get hurt. Throughout preschool and kindergarten I watched Sesame Street religiously where the Count taught me numbers, Big Bird taught me people’s feelings, Ernie and Bert taught me about friendship, the Honkers taught me the letters of the day and Elmo taught me even the little guy or girl can do anything a big person can. When elementary school started teachers taught me my subjects-math, science, art, religion, history, music and spelling. I continue to learn through my parents, family even my younger brother. Today I know that I can learn from school but most importantly I learn from experiences in my life and the world around me. I learned how to learn through constant repetition- every time I tried something bad I was told no that’s bad don’t do it, constantly watching Sesame Street- having the Count say 1-2-3-4-5 etc. everyday or learning a new letter and by going to school.
