With Age Comes A Desire For Education
I'm reminded of my own high school and college educational experiences: in both cases I was unmotivated during my first courses and then became VERY competitive in my classes and trying to achieve all "A's". As a lifelong learner, every time I would enroll for an additional degree my husband would always make a comment about my rabid competitive nature and that I wasn't always a dream to live with during this time. Just imagine - education was turning me into a Jekyll and Hyde - hard to believe!
Maryna,
To help them become life long learners is such a valuable gift to impart on students. They will benefit from being life long learners throughout not only their careers but also their personal lives.

As a result of positive learning experience they became not only life long learners but conveyers of information as well. Keep up the good work.
Jaye,
This helps you to customize your instruction and as a result you will have a higher level of engagement.

Yes, with life experience comes the understanding of what is at stake. Understanding that motivates the person both internally and externally to achieve.
Sharon,
Your comments made me smile because I have heard similar stories from other individuals that became instructors. They in their early years could never see themselves as life long learners due well teachers. As a result of positive learning experience they became not only life long learners but conveyers of information as well. Keep up the good work.
