Being a Lifelong Learner

I get excited each time we start a new class at Community Business College. I never get tired of teaching the same classes over and over because it is such a joy to have a part in students' learning new things.

Every teacher is elated when a student has an aaah-ha moment.

Learning is so satisfying - we know we are alive when we are learning and growing. That's why I am both a teacher and a learner - in fact, I am would say I am a life-long learner. I am curious about so many things.

If you also are a life-long learner, check out our website. I have taken several of these classes and have benefitted from each one. Currently I am taking a course on writing a magazine article. . One assignment was to list 50 things you would like to write about. Piece of cake - I could come up with a whole lot more.

Taking a short on-line course . is a fun way to stimulate your mind and expand your resume. And if you're a show-off like I am, it gives you lots of new stuff to learn about and talk about.

That could be a goal for 2014 - take some classes.
