If you read here, it says


Google's generation of page titles and descriptions (or "snippets") is
completely automated and takes into account both the content of a page
as well as references to it that appear on the web. The goal of the
snippet and title is to best represent and describe each result and
explain how it relates to the user's query.


So this shows that Google doesn't always show description which is picked up from that particular page, it may show the description set by the user in web masters tool, or they can also pick up description from the websites which links to that particular website, yes bots are smart these days...

Apart from that you might like to check out about microformats as you've mentioned that you are learning about SEO.
