Embarking on a New Journey: My First Day at 42 School
Written on
Chapter 1: My Unique School Supplies
As I step into this new educational chapter, my essential supplies consist of my trusty computer, and my desk, which doubles as my home office. The only "Apple" I possess isn’t meant for any educator (apologies to any teachers), but rather a pencil I’ll be using alongside my iPad for mobile learning.
I’m a freshman aiming to obtain a BA in Human Resources Management. Although I don't genuinely need that degree given my extensive experience, I recognize that figures like Zuckerberg and Musk value it, and I’m seizing this opportunity to explore the corporate world before fully diving into entrepreneurship, which is my ultimate aspiration.
With numerous large corporations establishing their presence in my city, I feel compelled to give it a shot, not just for the experience but also for the potential perks. Besides, I’m looking forward to tackling those quirky interview questions, such as, "Why is a manhole cover round?"
"This paragraph will result in an indented block of text, typically used for quoting other text."
Section 1.1: Anticipating New Learning
I’m excited about acquiring knowledge about business from a structural perspective. As a self-taught individual who has developed my own frameworks, it will be fascinating to explore the differences and similarities. The legal aspects of the curriculum may be intense, but my passion for language makes me eager to delve into that subject.
Subsection 1.1.1: Exploring Ethics and Logic
The topics of ethics and logic intrigue me greatly. I have a fondness for philosophy and enjoy engaging in those age-old debates regarding life and society. I'm even collaborating on a podcast with a friend who shares a similar enthusiasm, and we often discuss the works of philosophers like Aristotle and Nietzsche.
Section 1.2: Courses That Excite Me
Additionally, there’s a course on computer literacy (which I could probably teach myself) and one focused on Business in Film. Coincidentally, I’m a videographer, so I anticipate that class will go smoothly and be quite engaging.
Chapter 2: Ready for the Challenge
In this video, I reflect on how 42 School has helped me secure employment, providing insights into the transformative experience.
This video discusses what 42 School is all about, highlighting its unique approach of having no teachers, no lectures, and being completely free.
Overall, I am genuinely excited to embrace the challenges ahead. This journey will lift some of the pressure off my shoulders since I’ve been following a self-imposed syllabus, allowing me to relax a little—but not too much.
Would you consider returning to school after turning 40? Do you believe you've acquired all the knowledge you desire?
