HACKING MY EDUCATION

I'll be honest, I don't always want to put in the effort to learn something new or complete certain types of work I am given. When it comes to education, I think I have an issue staying focused on the subject at hand. I  find that the times I am the most focused and the most interested are when I am genuinely intrigued by a topic. When a factor of interest comes into play, I don't want to just learn about the topic because I have to, but because I legitimately want to. I enjoy learning about things that pertain to the physical world and how those things affect people and the world itself. It is very easy for me to get lot in a subject that grabs my attention because I forget that it's a 50 minute class period. And when the bell does ring I'm like, "Wow, already?" So to hack my education, I will make the topics at hand, no matter how unappealing they may seem at first, appear to be genuinely intriguing to me by asking how the development of the discussion around the topic could affect my fellow students, myself, and future students. Run-on sentence game strong.
