Where have you seen exponents?  I have seen them in varios math problems; and I am pretty sure you have too.  Exponents are a simpler way of showing/telling you to multiply a specific number by its self so many times.  For example, in stead of writing 2x2x2x2, they would put 2 to the 4th power.  There are many times when you will see exponents.
     How are exponents useful in real life?  Well, they will help you in school.  As you go on, you will use exponents more and more.  I know that they may seem useless now, but trust me, there is a reason why your math teachers are teaching you exponents.  You may not see the ways that they will help you, but I am sure you will see why your teachers showed you exponents later in life.
