My favorite thing about education is literally learning something new. I find myself to stress about school all the time, but when I learn something entirely new to me, school becomes fun. I’m not sure where in my upbringing this became truth. Maybe it was my mom never settling for the response of “good” when she asked me “How was school today?”. She’d insist on me telling her something new I learned that day. Or maybe it was because school came easy to me growing up so I was always looking for that extra challenge. Regardless, I’m thankful that I possess this trait because it has led me to immediately attempt to be the best I can be at whatever I learn, whether it be ice-skating or a new swing.

I found this to be more apparent when learning in class about how to construct survey questions. The only survey I ever remember making in my school career was for my high school senior project. To be honest, I bulls***ted it given that my only instruction was to get fifty responses. I re- thought about this senior project when my English professor told us that we would be making surveys for our next research assignment. She gave us many rules ranging from how to write the question to what order the questions should be in. This greatly sparked my interest to the point where I snapped out of morning grogginess and was sitting up straight on the edge of my seat trying to assemble the greatest survey ever written (gotta aim for the stars and if you miss, you’ll land on the moon). Class from then on was very enjoyable and I’m more than excited to get responses back and write this next essay.
