Applying classroom knowledge to life is not always about the specific material that is taught, but the critical thinking skills we learn along with that material. Self-motivation is one of the key skills that lead us to achieving our personal goals. We need to have goals in order to achieve personal success associated with our physical, spiritual, and intellectual needs. The classroom experience teaches us how to set and reach those personal goals.
The classroom gives us the opportunity to work with diverse groups of people, which is an important skill to have in life and in the work force. From learning to write effectively, to meeting deadlines, the classroom provides us with skills for life and the work force. In life we will fail, and with our classroom experience we can learn to take that failure and come back better than we were before.
