Since learning is the basic right each human possessse and is able to improve our ability to analyze the outer world and increase our richness in the heart  by making us more informative and active in mind, every single person would like to learn something, no matter for the self motivation of his own interests or for the outer pressure to earn a living. Admittedly that learning is a matter of personal discipline, but in my perspective, students can be motivated by school or college, not alone, but in combination of themselves, expecially in some specific stage of  life.The true  progress in learning a thing can only be achieved by the person involved, that is , no other people can do this work instead, the parents cannot, neither do the earning teachers. Take the improvement of one's writing skills as an example: bother the teachers and the experts online, or even the classmates can proffer some beneficial advices,  nevertheless, if the student himself does not study those skills and try to apply them when practisiing, which is the most important section to gain a dextrous writing skills, the students can never submit a excelllent coposition by himself. Another factor that comes from the inner part is the interests in the process of learning. In China, most colledge students are suffering a hard time on campus for the reason that they do not learn what they find interesting but what their parents ask them to, in the consideration of the future job market. And the result of their learning is conterproductive, which tells us that the learning is really a personal matter.What makes our learning special is that in some areas and stage of the process of learning, we may also need to go to school to enter classes. Since most theories and experiences at school are systimatic and organized well to be ingested and school is able to provide us a circumstance to study with our peers, it may stimulate our ethusiam to study and learn things more inherently.  Skills of spelling and reading, the basic mathmetical training and the Knowdge of classical physics and mechanics, things like that may be well accessible for pupils, who possess little elementary knowdge thus cannot choose what to learn all by himself. In addition, pupils may get fed up with the dull learning of such "boring" training, thus in this case, they may need the teachers to push them.'Granted that so much advantages are attached to school-patterned learning, the fundamental thing about learning is still a personal activity. Witness those who are disabled and have to complish all of his education at home by himself, with little help from the outside world, especially in the days withous Internet. Those who recept the home-education can also be used to disprove the necessity of schools' impulse. What's more,  with the help of the modern technology and advanced social network, individuals are able to learn what they want freely, without being motivated by schools.In summary, most learning process is a way to self improving, the way one can only walk by himself, but at the very beginning of the journey, and in a number of aspects, schools may assisst us to achieve the goal. Consequently, the best way to plan one's learning in the long term is to contain both shools and one's own capability, ustilizing the right one at the proper time and areas.
