Challenge 140: LEARNING LESSONS

No matter who you are or what you do, there’s always more to learn. Learning doesn’t always have to happen in a classroom! Some people may do most of their learning there, but others do most of their learning informally, outdoors or at home. Some people might prefer or encourage one type of learning over another, but all of it can be incredibly valuable, no matter how it was obtained. How do your characters learn? What do they think about it? Did they do all their learning in practical settings, and now skeptically side-eye the concept of learning out of a book? Or are they straight out of school, bright-eyed and determined to change the world? Write a story about learning lessons. BONUS GOAL: First Person If your submission is written in first person, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Hey. About this week's prompt. Does it have to be some kind of subject or can it also be a skill or anything else? Like nothing you really need in life but can be fun to learn. If so, that would be a real coincidence since I have this idea in my head and I was hoping for a prompt that would encourage me to write something with it.

Thanks in advance :)

That would be totally fine! I'm very lenient with prompt interpretations - it could be learning a skill, an actual lesson, two characters discussing how much they liked/hated school, a character wondering if they should learn something from a particular experience, basically anything you want as long as the concept of learning is in there somewhere.

You're welcome, and I look forward to seeing your fic!

Thank you for your fast reply :)
Oh that's really good to hear.
It will be cute, that's all I can say and believe me your answer made me smile like an idiot because I wanted to write this idea on the weekend and now I can even share it.

Edit: I've already written the prompt and writing this in first person was even more fun. Hope it makes you smile and gives you a mental image you might curse me for, for giving you.
