Myself as a teacher

The first thought that comes to mind when I look at myself as a student is "you can teach an old dog new tricks." It's amazing at how in tuned I am to the work done in class. School imparts a different meaning this time around. It has a true purpose. I look forward to coming to class because I know each time I will gain valuable, usable information. No class is ever a waste. I was a bit intimidated by the technology portion in the beginning. It was important to know that the instructors understood my "fear of the unknown" in this area.

Time managment is critical in taking classes this time around in school. I no longer have the freedom of just being a student. As a mom, wife, full time teacher, school council member, volunteer and on and on, it is difficult to complete all tasks before me. I have found that I must depend on others to take on responsibilities I once assumed and to help more. Like the saying goes, It's not the trip that is exciting, it is the journey it takes to get there.

  1. Time management has been tough for me too. Its a lot to juggle! Very much like the kids we teach! Some things don't change and we even dont always change even when we know the tricks!
