Thing #1

The lifelong habit that is easiest for me would be habit 2 accepting responsibility for my own learning. It has been a struggle to go back to school and I will admit I have not necessarily enjoyed the experience. I think the reason for this is that I need to improve on habit 4 and have a little more confidence in myself as a competent learner. College is a different experience when you are a single, working mother of two than it was in my twenties, but as I go along I am feeling more adept. Habit 5 creating my own toolbox is easy and hard. I am an avid reader so collecting books is not a struggle, nor is making friends or using people I work with to help mentor me through some of my classes. I struggle with the technology and hope this class will get me through the technology barrier I have, so I hope to learn a lot by playing with Web 2.0 tools, but mainly to not be afraid to use more technology. Habit 7 teaching or mentoring others is not hard either, I enjoy helping others if I can. I think most of us probably feel a sense of accomplishment if we can teach others, which is why we are becoming teachers.
