Learning..

"Learning how to learn is more important than the thing you are learning". 

I'am not sure where exactly I have heard this quote before, but I remember hearing it as a child, and it has stuck with me ever since. Now that I am college and paying for my education along with the help of loans, I realize how important knowing how to learn is. Anything is learnable in a sense. But learning how to learn is not always easy. Looking back at elementary is I notice that it was not so much what we were learning but how we learned. By asking questions, by investigating, by researching. Being in college this is important concept. Not knowing how to use these skills entering into college will only result in your down fall, Professors are not there to shove information down your throats, they simply present the information to you. It is our job as students to take that information and expand on it, to research and question it. To soak up as much as we can before we leave to make us more educated and well rounded citizens of the world. Being thirsty for knowledge is one of the best traits a person can have in my opinion. Because someone who wants to learn will always continue to learn and grow as a individual. But when that passion for knowledge is not there , neither is growth.
