Shanika, great post and I totally agree that students benefit from understanding out own life stories. All instructors were students at some point in their lives yet at times many forget what it was like. Also, they assume all students learn or experience leaning in the same way they did and get confused when their singular tactics do not have a positive impact on their students. We all need to be mindful of what we experienced when we were students and also be mindful that not everyone learns in the same ways. Keep up the great work.
