Why do you learn? To get a job? To get good grades? to get into a good college? To be praised by teachers and parents? Or do you learn for other reasons: joy, curiosity, truth, beauty, virtue? As we approach the end of the school year, write down a few thoughts on your reasons for learning.


I am learning something not to fall behind of others. Now I have lived lazy life like watching YouTube without doing my homework or self development while other people are doing their best to develop themselves. So now I feel I am very behind of most of people. So I am trying to learn academic study or even other thing that makes me improve.
ReplyDeleteI'm learning to be better, to have a great job p, to have more opportunities in life, I'm also learning to challenge myself, and prove myself that I'm capable to do whatever I want, I also want to make my parents proud because they are working hard for me to be here and I want to show them how much I appreciated by studying.
ReplyDeleteLearning is a part of my dream road. My ultimate goal is to enter the Forbes rich list and bring better technology to the public. For this goal, learning is essential to me. Learning knowledge can also make me closer to the truth, closer to my own cognition.
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of my learning career is to be wealthy. It is because to protect and support the ones that I love. In addition, to prove my ability to the others. This is because I think a life that is recognized can make my life richer and happier. Those two are the reasons why I want to keep learning something.

DeleteI consider learning as the process that everyone should do just for themselves. I think every human, no matter is he or she young or old, should learn to make yourself better person . I think learning giving us best chance to develop us on right way.

ReplyDeleteI learn to be happy in the future. In Japan, many people say that studying is an investment for the future. But it sounds like I study because my parents say to study. Honestly, it’s actually right because I don’t know why I study. I have been wondering why since I was in middle school. I dislike high school education in Japan. That’s why I want to learn here. I believe that we are learning to know why we study. So, my goal is to know why people study.
ReplyDeleteLearning is necessary. People have to learn all their lives, not just to go to university and to find a job. I think learning is to solve problems. There will be many problems in life, so the way to solve problems is to have enough knowledge to help me. , This is why I think learning is a lifetime thing
ReplyDeleteI learn for knowledge, of course. I study not because of being forced by someone, but for myself and my future (although sometimes it's true that I'm forced to). However, there are a lot of reasons beside knowledge, such as good grades or to be accepted into a good college. That may seems practical, but it's very important for one's career and life. Of course school and college is not the only way to get a good life, but whichever way we choose, we have to learn, for sure.

ReplyDeleteThere is not a bunch of different answer for the question of why are you going to school, I think that the main answer would be to have a good job to have enough money to have a good life for you and your children.
Learning ingrained in our instinct since the time we were born. There are many reasons why we learn. We might learn from curiosity,ambitious,intrigued,etc. We study to understand and sought for answers.Learning is an eternal voyage in life.I think all those matters come to a point is to improve oneself.
ReplyDeleteI learn to have a good future. To be able to have a good job that I enjoy, to be able to buy what I need and live comfortably. Although school, homework and exams aren’t things that I like, learning about something I am interested in is something that I like. I feel everyone should have at least a minimum of knowledge to be able to live nowadays.
ReplyDeleteI learn something to be a good person. To be honest, I know that I can't utilize all the contents which we study in the school. However, we can grow the thinking ability by learning math. And, we can understand how the world created by learning history. like these examples, we can be a great person by learning something. Learning is the most special acitivity in the world for me. -cha-

ReplyDeleteI learned to have a job, to improve my life in the future, to have more knowledge, and to have a better life. I study for good grades to get accepted to University help me to get a better job and have a better life after. The study is invest to the future, and the life. The study also helps you improve knowledge and apply it everyday life.
The reason I learn is for a better future. Learning builds up knowledge, uses it to get a job, gets a job, and then makes money. Without learning, there's nothing you can do. We can certainly be good people if we have a lot of knowledge. You can do a lot of things, you can make a lot of money, and you'll get good results if you try best.
ReplyDeleteThe reason for learning is not choose and different from person to person. There are people who want to go to a good university with good grades, and there are people who do so for a better future. The reason I learn is for a better future.
ReplyDeleteWe nees knowledge to get a job and make money.
Learning, not being forced by someone, is voluntary and is the most essential thing in our lives.
I really go to school because they force me, and since I have no other option because I take advantage of it to learn something, like the job I want does not need studies, it is not in a voluntary way that I go to school, even so I also take advantage of it so that in case hypothetically they do not catch me in the job of my dreams (which I doubt very much) because I will have more opportunities in other jobs.

ReplyDeleteStudying is just for oneself to have a good life in the future, can have a happy life. Some people say that learning is a process, a way, not an end. The purpose of learning is to adapt to society, to improve abilities, and to realize the value of life. There are many ways to learn, you can learn from books, you can learn from celebrities, you can learn from people around you, etc. The most important thing is to turn other people's things into your own things, turn things from the past into things of the present, and find a way that suits you and adapts to the present and the future.
