Not counting quick reference checks with Google or YouTube, what is the last thing you learned that was important to you? How did this skill or knowledge impact you? Did you have a teacher or mentor? What was special about him or her? How did their teaching style jive with your preferred way of learning?  What was the last thing you taught someone else? What were the circumstances (Was this person a child or parent, a staff member or boss? ) Write a few paragraphs about each experience? What aspects of the experience do you think are universal and what details might be particular to you? What aspects of each experience might provoke gratitude in you?
