What I Have Learned As A Student

Wow!  I have learned so much as a student!  This past year at NTI has opened my eyes to so much, as a student and a teacher and I'm really thankful for this experience!  As a student, I think the most important thing I've learned is that you should always learn.  I've had to state this to my students many times, as they sometimes expect me to know everything or they state that they don't want to learn something that I'm trying to teach them.  Now I know why the educational system values additional education from teachers.  It really pays to continue learning new concepts, new methods of teaching and new or revised material in your particular area of study.  I'm so proud to be in a profession that really values education.  I can't wait to move on to my next educational experience.  I plan to start working on my Master's in nursing or education by the end of this year.  I know that it will pay off for me and the students that I teach.  Although, I have always valued education and have always wanted an additional degree, the most important thing that I've learned is that I enjoy learning!
