Resilience is Key!

What is the Fundamental Purpose in Education?
     I think having purpose in what ever you do makes you successful in education.   It is through mimicking and practice that education becomes permanent. Thinking creatively of presenting a subject, education not only functions as a fundamental process, but is welcomed by the students in the learning process.  The fundamental purpose of education is to encompass a resilient spirit that one can grow, in means of diversity.  Therefore schooling is fundamental in growing an individual spiritually, mentally and physically.
     Is there a difference between schooling and education? I think there is a close marriage of the two, combined, borrowing different aspects of one another, school is where you go to be educated. Right?  Besides discoveries that are put before students such a math, science and language arts, there is also the realm of social education.  As a teacher our job is to focus on the content presented to our students, but an emphasis on the social realm has been horribly denied.  I think the fundamental purpose of education is to provide real life situations for our students that they can identify with and carry on with them through out their life.  It is our responsibility to take each individual under our wing and provide them with guidance of our already learned accomplishments.
     Is it up to us as educators to lay stagnant in the content we are providing? Absolutely not!  A fundamental process in learning is passion and purpose for the subject provided.  Positive attitudes and humor is infectious, creating a welcoming and open environment, students let their guard down to envelope enlightenment.  Learning should be a process where one is able to make mistakes, able to examine these mistakes and imprint proper proceedings in their mind.  It is with this tenacious spirit and resilience for discovery that makes learning a successful process.  No matter what obstacles and demands are put before a student, having a resilient personality grows the individual further beyond their counterparts who idle by waiting for success to happen to them.
      I think had I not had the trials put before me, I would have not had to learn the importance of resilience in my own life.  I think that realizing at a young age that learning and recognizing other individuals mistakes, have saved me from repeating the same kind of mistakes.
