Importance Of Inquiry Essay

Inquiry is asking a question to determine more information and indulge in curiosity. Most associate inquiry with learning and research in a classroom or a workplace setting; however, the importance of inquiry goes far beyond education and information, as it relates to emotional capacity as well as morality. In my life so far, inquiry has evolved in its form and changed the way I think and have thought about the world. As far as where I am now, being a freshman in college, taking First Year Seminar has done nothing but benefit my want to learn. Specific ways in which I have used inquiry in my life involve working toward goals that I set (in terms of my discipline or future career), improving and maintaining relationships that affect my life

Sometimes just simply asking about someone’s day creates a special connection. Subsequently, inquiry plays a large role in learning after education. Lastly, understanding my passions will always be something that I have to be critical of. Coming into college, I wanted to join as many clubs and student organizations as possible; however, after attending the activities fair, I knew that it would be quite impossible for me to achieve that goal.
