Thing #1

After reading through the 7 1/2 habits of lifelong learners, I felt that it connected closely with my own ideas regarding learning. The "I can" attitude is very important to me as it is what keeps me going in the field of learning and education and it is an attitude I wish to pass on to my future students. Habit 1 was the easiest for me to grasp. As a Marine, I am a goal oriented person and I can clearly picture the end result I wish to achieve, as well as what it will take to get there. Habit 4 was the one I felt most difficult for me, as I am, at times, overly critical of myself, and I tend to hold myself to a somewhat stressful standard. This can lead to nme second guessing my self, which is something I am constantly working on. I agree that it is never to late or early to begin learning. I am currently in class with many students who are eight or more years younger than me. I may have been a few years late getting into college, but I guess it's better late than never.
