Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think the teacher is partially correct. If it were true that leaning is not the main event, but learning life lessons is, then I would thing that there should be a better way to go about that. Learning about specific topics and subjects is what we are supposed to learn. Courage, adversity, perseverance, focus, and other life lessons can be supplementally learned at the same time, but are not the primary focus. The teacher is trying to say that the grades don't matter as much, but its about teaching yourself how to get through hardships. I believe both are important. The main event to the author is learning life lessons over content. To me the main event is leaning content AND life lessons, therefore creating the building blocks and the foundation to start a college career and build on that foundation. By the time you graduate college, you should know a lot in your field or major, and you should have learned things about yourself, others, and life as well.
