Is Life a Classroom?

     I have asked myself many times what is my purpose in life? And still, I do not really know. I believe that I should be learning something. Is life trying to teach me something and I am failing to understand? It makes me think that I have been in a classroom my entire life.
     Life is easy when nothing goes wrong. However, when problems arise they need to be solved. It seems to me that life is challenging me by putting one obstacle after another on my path. A lesson to be learned for each obstacle. A problem is like a weight being put on my shoulders to solve in order for me to grow stronger. So I was thinking if I was born into unlimited wealth the only thing that I would probably be learning is that everything has a price. I think life is much more than having a lot of money. I think life's spiritual nature equals its physical nature and there is much more there than our eyes can see.
     I do wish my life to an easy and happy one but I do not think that life was meant to give me endless pleasure. Life puts us through tests and once we learn a lesson another problem arises that we must solve. Life is about growth. It wants us to grow strong mentally, physically and spiritually. It puts challenges in front of us in order for us to solve it and learn something from it. And when we reach the end of our life, the classroom learning will be over and it will be time for us to go home.
