Gardening or School

Unless you are into horticulture, you probably don’t think that school and gardening have a lot in common. I find that most things in life you can use an analogy for and for me it’s been gardening and school.

More specifically the three step process of:
  1. Seeding or Planting
  2.   Weeding
  3.  Blooming

The first time you start it is like they are planting the seeds and slowly fertilizing the seeds of knowledge. Giving you lots of hope that you can complete this with no problems at all.

The second stage through to the second last stage is the weeding stage. They toss all sorts of work at you, whether its tests, assignments or labs to see if you handle it all. They are wondering who is going to push to the top.

The final stage is blooming. Those who have surpassed all of the weeding are looking forward to the finish lines. Now professors are congratulating and asking you about post-graduate plans and how they can help you move forward.


Now this may just be me, but what do you guys think. Let me hear you thoughts and ideas on what analogies you like to use when it comes to school.
