Second Task (p1)

FIRST WRITTEN:

"Paradise and The Emotions"

Many teenagers (and some children), in school-term, start to find out the influence of feelings in their learning process. In some circumstances the system, Educational System, fails because of a state of mind follow-up lack. It means the only thing that really matters, the most, is a learning process throughout academic content. So what about the feelings in that learning process? It seems too blurry.  It´s very important to educate them, the students, in feeling take-care.

In order to make sense on what it said, there’s a stanza from Paradise - Coldplay .

“When she was just a girl,  she expected the world.
But it flew away from her reach
and bullets catch in her teeth.
Life goes on,
It gets so heavy,
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
Every tear a waterfall.
In the night, the stormy night,
She closed her eyes.
In the night,
The stormy night,
Away she’d fly” (2^nd stanza)

Well, it sounds quite encouraging. Here it seems a situation, in which an ordinary girl is  on a endeavour of overcoming a “challenge” because she understands how the world works, and also, it is really worthy to give a try to that reality. Therefore, she is seeing the world by a different outlook and then she creates a new atmosphere to live in.

It is a fact, in Colombia many students – teenagers in general – commit suicide because they never learnt how to handle their own feelings along their growing up process; in high school they never were taught on taking care of what they felt; and, even worst, the teachers usually do not get involved in their student’s dilemmas due to the system bans that kind of relations between teachers and students.

From my personal point of view, Music eases my strain. Music by itself affects our perspective of life as well as school changes our thoughts because both reflect different way of thinking, indeed. In addition, my learning process in school was overcharging, as well: Everything had to do with our future as an individuals but nothing had any relation with how we should face the real world.  Fortunately, I had some teachers that encouraged me to overcome many difficulties even knowing that System forbidden them to act like that. At the end, I got by and I could achieve many life's aims.

Right now, I am studying my bachelor's degree and by this written I want you to beware of feeling follow-up in learning process. On the other hand, the effects of feeling lack of inside the System. What truly matter is our teenagers will be able to face their world, their reality, confidently.


Dear Reader, I would like to know how you feel in relation it with what it is said here. So, please, in your comment, take into consideration these three aspects:

1. An objective viewpoint
2. Our reality inside of the schools
3. Ways to resolve these kind of issues.
