What does this piece of writing say about learning? How do you connect this piece to the expectations of this class?

This piece of writing talks about learning as an accumulative experience rather than just an event. The experience of learning is so important because whatever someone learns will eventually affect them even if it is in the slightest way. The point of learning is not however to be successful at everything that you attempt to learn. The point is to figure out how you learn and how it will affect you, along with many mistakes along the road. This piece also talks about how learning isn't some impossible thing to get to, in which no one can reach. To learn requires patience and diligence because all of learning is achievable even though you can't see it right away. This piece connects to the expectations in class because over the course of the year there are definitely going to be plenty of mistakes, but it is not about how many mistakes you have. It is about how you learn from those mistakes which will make you much more successful in the long run. Additionally, learning is a process which means it will take time so one should not expect to understand everything right away.
