As I said before going back to school is an adventure, but one ever knows until you are in the midst of it. I have to admit I love going to school and I love to learn. I don't care who thinks it sounds strange it is the truth. What I continually find humorous as I walk the halls of school and sit among other students is how many of my fellow classmates do not think I am a classmate at all. On three separate occasions last week I was asked either if I was one of the lab instructors, if I were filling in for our instructor, or what assignment was missed. Now the last question could have been asked of another student, but then the person said," oh, I am sorry but we have missed this class so much lately for snow I thought you were the teacher." I thought I fit into the mix pretty well whenever I looked around the classroom, but maybe not as much as I hoped. Never the less since I am in the education program I at least know I have the teacher look, whatever that is? So as I continue make my way through this semester if any of you see a student with graying hair and bags under their eyes please know they may be in the same boat you are in.

Good luck with your schooling! It must be kind of "weird" to be with some many of the younger generation. You are not alone though. In many of my classes there are older students, and sometimes more older than younger! I think it's great though!!! I couldn't imagine myself going to school past like 25, but you got to do what you got to do! Maybe we will meet in the future in a class. Seems that I always talk more to the older students than the younger anyway.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is anything strange in enjoying learning. It keeps you young and engaged in life. Plus, when there are several different ages in a class, it seems to make the class more interesting and richer. Perhaps since you seem to have "the look" (of a teacher), this is a good sign that you are on the right track.
ReplyDeleteI dont think its strage at all that your going to school. Anyone can go to school no matter how old they are. Good luck :)
