Back to School: Lessons Learned on the School Bench

As the new school year is right around the corner, I think again about the last years. They were full of enjoyment, learning and freedom from worry. Outside I see the bustling families with their little kids in search of school accessories and new clothes, the students with their dreams for the future and wish to get a new profession. The preparation is going with full power! It all gives me a sense of nostalgia, full of memories from my own school days. Those years were more than simply textbooks and tests; they were one bustling and hustling environment in which crucial life skills were learned.

Let's go back to your school days. Which are the most important lessons you learned during your studying? Consistency, Motivation, Organization, Friendship... Let's discuss the most important lessons for the life that you began learning on the school benches. How were built the bases, during what are you went in the years?

Ah, the lovely nostalgia of school days! So, we are starting!

One of the most crucial lessons I learned was the power of Consistency. My dad always said, "With hard work, learning and consistency, every goal in life can be achieved!" It wasn't about being the smartest; it was about always being consistent and never giving up. Whether it was going to class, doing schoolwork or joining clubs, being consistent helped me build a good work ethic. I learned that even small steps forward are better than trying to do everything at once. This wasn't just about school. It was true for everything else, too, like learning new skills, keeping your friendship and even cleaning my room. Working on things regularly, big or small, I learned discipline. I had a sense that I was doing things well. This sense I feel today when I achieve my goals with learning and consistency.

Motivation is really strongly related to persistence. School definitely had its difficult moments, like hard classes, times when I messed up and days I just wanted to quit. But I found how to get myself going. Sometimes, I wanted to get on my teachers' good sides. Other times, it was the fun competition with my friends in class. And sometimes, I was very proud that I achieved something hard. Learning how to push myself was a big challenge. It helped me deal with problems outside of school too. It showed me how to find my own reasons for doing things, how to feel good while getting over problems and how to go forward even when things got hard.

Okay, so after the motivation came the Organization. To be motivated also meant I had to get organized. And also I understood that it's crucial to have a plan. So I always had enough time between schoolwork, after-school hobbies, meetings with friends and even working sometimes. I learned how to put things in order of importance, handle my time well and find ways to remember everything. It wasn't only about having clean notebooks and colorful planners. It was about learning how to think about organizing my life. This skill helps me now as an adult, dealing with work, friends, and my own projects more easily and with less stress.

And now about Friendship! My mom always taught me that the relationships and people around me are one of the most important things in life. True friendship has no price and may lead you over the difficulties. If you have true friends, you could always build something well. It's also very important to have support in the hardest moments—so all go forward easier. School wasn't just about getting good grades. It was also where I learned about friendship. The friends I made back then? They're priceless. I learned how to work with others, support them and understand them with all their qualities. My friends were the people I told everything to, studied with and who cheered me on. They were around me when things got hard and celebrated when I did well. They showed me what it really means to be loyal and care about others. School gave me all sorts of relationships; some didn't last, but others are still going strong. They all helped make me who I am today.

Finally, I've learned to be Adaptive and manage very well with the storms in life. School, just like life, always brings surprises. There were unexpected tests, changes in what we were learning and changes in who was my friend and who was not. Dealing with all of this motivated me to adapt without breaking and get with open arms new challenges. I improved my ability to modify my methods when necessary. This helped me a lot when I became an adult. Now I can manage the job changes, big moments in my life and those unexpected things that life brings in my way.

In Conclusion

Ah, School Days! Nostalgia and Unforgettable Memories! For me, school was more than just books and tests. It was one preparation to be ready for real life. I built the basics of how to show up, stay motivated, get organized, be a good friend and overcome obstacles? That's what makes me happy and successful now.

So, for all the students starting a new year, I hope you learn a lot, grow as people and discover some important life lessons. It might be difficult sometimes, but it's worth it!
