The most important thing

The most important thing I’ve learned about myself as a STUDENT during the past three semesters in NTI is discovering that you can teach an old dog some new tricks. I thought that I had finished my education years ago and would be well into retirement at this point in life. Well, this old dog was totally wrong. Fortunately, I began a teaching career and became a student who is always learning new things. Although at my age, it took some preparation and groundwork on my part to focus on being a student again. Since being a student of NTI, I have learned how valuable the course has been in supplying information for me in my teaching endeavors. One main thing that I have learned is to be more patient with the students that I teach. I can now better understand and relate to my students’ because of my experiences during this course. I have decided being a NTI student this past three semesters has been demanding and challenging. But in return, I have gained and learned a great deal of rewarding knowledge.
