Our plants aren't much to look at right now, most of what is happenening in going on under the surface. They have sprouted and are now growing their roots to gather nutrients and secure themselves so they can withstand any weather rain or shine that comes at them.
When you think about it, my learning experience is at the same exact place right now. I'm now building the foundation I will need to flourish in college. Most of the important changes are being made under the surface, similiar to what the seeds are going through it's the hardest part. My roots must push down through the soil, either going around or moving any obstacles in their path. If I don't create a good root system I won't be able to withstand the hard times I face. If I do create a good root system then the results will be visible just like the leaves that are slowly sprouting up toward the sun. If I take careful measures to allow my roots to reach further out, I will gather all the nutrients (knowledge) that will create help to create the fruit that benefits everyone.
You describe your plant and your own learning process well. I especially liked the metaphorical imagery of your roots of learning.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and create a new paragraph for the section about your own learning, so there are two complete paragraphs. Also, you don't need to create a new post just for your photo; you may imbed it into your post.
