The below question is about Faith Reason and Imagination class.
What it is you hope to get out of the class now. I know most of you hope to get an "A" but let's be a bit more introspective- what purpose does this class serve in the grand scheme of your life?
It is quite a good question that most of students don't know what is it that they actually want from the class. Is it all about just getting grade A & then moving to another class, repeat the cycle on and on.
But the actual answer is vast ultimately getting an A grade in 8th grade won't get you in a fancy college or help you in your career. Or it actually can affect all those things.
Childhood of every person affect the entire life of a person. Experiences that we have during those School years shape your personality. It is not the grade A that would affect your life in future but it will be the memories that are associated with it and with the other things that you did in that particular grade. Having a good claas year can help you in developing your personality like boosting your confidence, help you in overcoming your stage fear, in learning how to make more friends, in developing new interest and learning things like languages or other skills.
Opposite of these things also happens a bad incident can lower your confidence, develop new fears etc.
So, yes one grade do play a role in your great grand scheme of our life. It shapes us psychologically & mentally. It give us memories & friends. The purpose of that class is to help in learning not just for getting good grades, but from mistakes, your small achievement & disappointments.
