myself as a STUDENT during the past three semesters in NTI is . . . "

"The most important thing I've learned about myself as a STUDENT during the past three semesters in NTI is . . . that school is still school and that as a student you get out of it what you put into it. The past three semesters have been changeling from time to time especially the first semester during last summer that was a true push. I have learned that I have changed as a student from the last time that I was in a classroom as a student at Clark Atlanta, I feel that I am a better student than I was even then.

When in the role as a student you get a different prospective of the student stand point once you have been in the teacher role. I have found that it takes patience to be a good student to be able to excel in the area of being a student compared to always being the teacher. The past three semesters as a NTI student as been quite an experience for better and worse, and that I have had to really push myself in order to get things done in a timely manner and produce quality work to achieve a good grade. But overall I have learned a lot of myself as a student and a teacher over the last three semesters.

Riley said...: You are definitely correct about getting out what you put into something. It seems like that applies to everyday activities in life, and it especially applies to being a student. It seems healthy to push yourself and to accept a challenge every once in a while. It has helped me grow as a person. I agree, when you have the experience of being a student while being a teacher at the same time, it gives you deeper level of understanding for your students. NTI has been a beneficial program for me as well. It has had it's good times and it's bad, but overall it has been beneficial. I wish you luck in your career. I hope that teaching treats you well.; April 2, 2009 at 8:31:00 PM EDT
