After reading the book “Becoming a Learner” by Matthew Sanders‚ I was able to better appreciate the effect that positivity has on learning in a college setting as well as throughout our entire lives.

I found many of the topics discussed in Becoming a Learner useful‚ but the things I found most useful were how most college students go into college and how it is wrong. Sanders describes how many students go into college with the assumption that college will give them a good life. Talking about this he says‚ “The problem with this conversation is that it can turn education into an obligation instead of an opportunity” (Sanders 26). I can relate to this because many times I have thought that college
