Role as a student

The most important thing that I have learned about myself as a student is perhaps what being a student has taught me. I have become an organized person. This is something that I never thought I would be able to say about myself. I was always the biggest procrastinator but have found that I had to be organized and stay on top of things if I was going to stay sane! Working two jobs and going to school for the past 6 years has been quite the long haul. I always new I would make it, but some days it was a huge struggle. Organization had to become a part of my life if I were to succeed. It is such a good feeling to be able to lay my hands on things whenever I want to. I feel less stressed in my day to day life. Ultimately this new found organization has made me a much better teacher. I feel that I am in control of what happens in my life. I really don't feel that I would have learned how to be organized if it hadn't been for becoming a later in life student. Education has been very good to me! :)

  1. You said it Jayna. I'm glad you have found less stress during the day. Of course, using the tools learned at NTI has taken some of the guess-work out of teaching day to day. And we can teach these organizational tools to our students as well. My kids have a notebook (binder)... inspire by our giant NTI notebook!
