Abstract

This chapter extends and develops a number of themes that arose in the final paper that I wrote as part of my undergraduate education degree in 2012. In writing my final assignment I had the opportunity to delve deeply into personal memories and explore my own educational journey. I reflected upon the links between these experiences and my thinking processes at different stages in my life and developed a refined understanding of my ideas and beliefs about learning and education.
