Let's learn together!
Learning is my passion!
Our brains are amazing learning machines!
Every time we learn something new, brain cells reach out to connect with each other. The more we practice new skills, the stronger those connections get! The brain is capable of forming endless numbers of pathways to access what we know. The more we use it, the faster those neural highways function!
Awesome Ways To Learn
Reading
Reading is a great way to learn new information and to have experiences (through stories) that we can't always have in real life. This helps us solve problems more easily and (hopefully) treat each other better. :)
Drawing
Creating a picture of an abstract concept is one of the smartest ways to think about new ideas - and it's fun! As my favorite author, Kurt Vonnegut says, "Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow... Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
Writing
Whether it's a story, an essay, or a poem, organizing words to describe, inform, or persuade is a powerful way to communicate. How many times have you wished your voice could be heard? It can, if you write! There are lots of ways to self-publish online or create your own books - so get started!
Libraries!
I love libraries and bookstores! If I won the lottery, Barnes and Noble is the first place I'd visit. Somehow it feels like knowledge is being absorbed by my brain through osmosis, and it really gets my blood going. Some of my favorite writers are Kurt Vonnegut and Wallace Stegner. My favorite topics to read about are educational psychology, science, and philosophy. I'll almost never walk away from a chance to read something new. :)
