Ask Questions
I felt like an oddball growing up because I asked a lot of questions. There were times when adults and my friends got tired of my question. They would get impatient and sometimes ignore me.
I had one teacher Ms. Clay that encouraged me to ask, “Why?” She encouraged my curiosity and explained that when I got older, I would be glad that I asked questions because… “Questions Leads To Great Wisdom.”
I needed to understand the purpose and the ‘why’ of activities. Asking questions empowers you to take ownership of your learning. It helps you develop critical thinking skills and stimulates your thinking. to expand your knowledge base beyond the status quo.
Hint: Remember to be polite when you ask questions to adults and learn as much as you can.
