Myself as a Student
"The most important thing I've learned about myself as a STUDENT during the past three semesters in NTI is . . .that I am not as swift, physically nor mentally, as I once was in completing tasks. But I always feel a great sense satisfaction and freedom when each assignment is completed! As in the past, I have always enjoyed stepping up to new challenges, gaining new knowledge and finishing the course. I especially like being able to apply the new knowledge gained right away in the classroom setting. This process made the entire NTI experience more valuable. Initially, I had thought that this class should have been a part of my pre-teaching experience but now it has proven to be more beneficial after the first year of teaching. Overall, I have learned to appreciate the teaching profession from a student persepctive and now the Teacher.
I also find that I have a great sense of accomplishment when a task is completed and when you can apply what you learn to your everyday experiences in life.
