38. Best Learning Experience
! There is nothing quite like a really great learning
experience. Sometimes our best learning experiences
happen at school and sometimes they happen in other
settings.
Think about a time when you were learning something
and it was so interesting that you loved it and just didn’t
want it to end. Sometimes a great learning experience
involves hard work, but you are willing to do the work
because you see yourself improving and you are excited
about your progress.
Tell the story of one of your very best learning
experiences.
