Many people think that we only learn in schools, but the truth is that we are always learning and will continue to do until we die. Since we were babies, we were already learning what can cause harm to us because we could feel pain. We learned how to love and respect others by example, so our parents played an important role in our education. Education begins since we were born and not only when we start school. We can learn in many ways, some of them are formal education, life experience, and friend experience.
Formal education is one of the most common type of education. Most of us have at least 6 years of formal education. It helps us prepare to succeed in life. With formal education, we can have a better future. For example, we can get …show more content…

You learn how people act and how to deal with people because there are a lot of people who are very rude. Two months ago, I learned to never trust unknown people because you do not know if they are being honest and responsible. I bought an iPhone 5 from a woman between 20 and 30 years old. I asked her if the cellphone worked fine, she told me that there were no problems, so I bought it from her. When I went home to connect it to iTunes, I could not do nothing because it was iCloud lock. The next day, I contacted that girl, but she never answered. I just wanted to return it and get my money back. Since that bad experience, I never buy used cellphones because there are a lot of people who are not honest. Another example was when I trade a pair of speakers for a car stereo. The man told me that the stereo was working great, but when I installed it, one speaker did not work, so I told him about it and he gave me another one but the cd did not work instead. Since that, I never trade with that man. Another life experience was when I learned to never change money to people because it is dangerous. Approximately two years, I changed money to a guy in Mexico; the guy seemed good person. So I changed two 50 pesos bill for one 100 pesos bill. When I went to store to buy a water bottle, they told me that the bill was fake, so they called the police, I explained everything to the officer and he let me go.

Some of them are good friends and others are fake friends. In my friend experience, I had learned that going to a night club with a sad friend is not a good idea. For example, one time I went to a night club with a friend that had just broke up with his girlfriend, so he was sad and he wanted to have fun. After two hours, he was drunk and wanted to fight with other guys, so when two violent people with alcohol in their veins are together, nothing good happens. They began to fight near the bar table. It was a complete chaos, people throwing chairs, people bleeding everywhere, then the security guard calmed down the situation. After that bad experience, I never go to a night club with a sad friend because some people die for this fool fights. There are many types of friends. For example, the party friend. The friend who is only you friend when you invite him to a night club to have fun, but if you ask him for a favor he always has “something” to do. For example, my friend Carlos only have time if there are parties. One day a needed help to fix my car and I asked him if he could help me. I told him it would be fast just 30 to 45 minutes. He told me that he needed to do his homework so I said ok no problem. Next day, my brother told me that he saw Carlos at the party. At that moment, I knew that he was a fake friend. Another type is the friend that only talks to you to ask you a favor. They never talk to you even when you are in some
