8th grade life science test

This was a truly humbling experience. Science has always been one of my favorite subjects growing up. Apparently, however, I do not know as much as what an 8th grader would. taking this test I was reminded of the things I used to know. If you don't keep up on your studies then you will not retain all those fascinating facts that you learn growing up.
About myself, I learned there is a lot to go in terms of things I can know. Thinking back, there certainly is a lot of things I used to love and know like the back of my hand that I have let slip away. I did Science Olympiad, one of my favorite events was ecology, where I learned many of the things that were on this 8th grade test. that however is the thing, I haven't reviewed these items since I did Science Olympiad in Junior High.
It surprised me how little I actually knew. I know that at one time the information was there. I second guessed myself and changed a lot of my answers. I know that I am not alone in terms of bad performance on this test, which again surprised me as we are all education majors. Again this was a humbling experience and I have a long way to go. You never truly stop learning. Why would you ever want to?
