Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 32: What I wasn't taught in School

Greetings to you friends in this community. I am excited to see this community and wish to be regular in this community. I am a new user who just signed on last week.

Today, I want to write this contest and answer the question that is asked here.

Are you of the opinion that school can teach you everything or you've got a contrary opinion?

This is really an interesting question to me. School is really an interesting place to learn many things and gain knowledge. But I don't think school can teach us everything that we want.
So many things can be learned through after schooling through experience by means of interacting with others.
School can teach people many subjects that can help us in the future like mathematics, English, science and many other beneficial things in life. But school can not teach us how to love, hahaha, and many other things.
School teaches us one part while experience teaches another.

What was that situation you found yourself that your years of learning in school could not fix?

This is another interesting question. There are so many situations that school learning can not fix in real life.
It will be disappointing to believe that education alone can fix our life's problems.
When I was faced with the trauma that came with the death of my dad, school learning did not help me fix the feelings I had. I was depressed and it resulted in a lot of injuries.

How did you end up fixing the issue?

Well, to fix the issue, I looked up to my maker God through prayer and also sought advice from those who had been in my situation before.
The advice of experienced people helped me, and I was able to cope with the feeling and stopped overthinking.

In your opinion, how should learning in school be viewed and handled.

In my own opinion, I think learning in school should be viewed as what helps us grow intellectually and promote self development. It should be viewed as what helps us solve some situations in real life and not everything.
School should be viewed as where you learn basic knowledge that can help you in some situations in real life, not all.

School learning should be considered as something enjoyable and can be seen sometimes as a ladder to success. Basic education is needed in order for us to grow even in our personal skills.

So I will now invite my friends @udyliciouz @manuelhooks and @kesybliss to come and join in the contest.
