Am I a Lifelong Learner?
I never really thought about it before, but after viewing the video "7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners", I believe that, YES, I am a lifelong learner. I'm not ever really satisfied unless I am learning, teaching, or mentoring. The easiest of the habits for me is #1, "Begin with the End in Mind." I never begin any project without thinking of the end result. My dream is to teach Special Education. With that end in mind, I began the MAT program last semester. The most difficult habit for me is #5, "Create a Learning Toolbox". Because I have spent the last 15 years of my life in retail sales and management, I have not created a very good learning toolbox for education. That is my goal this semester!

Being in retail sales for the last 14 years as well, I can relate to your situation. I, too, am not satisfied unless I am learning something. Having a positive impact on a student's life will be so rewarding and I can't wait!! Good luck on your continuing education!
ReplyDeleteI think beginning with the end in mind is pretty much almost the only way to do things. There are times to be spontaneous, but it's usually more practical to have a goal.
