- I have a lot to learn.
- I've forgotten so much of what I learned in elementary school. I turned out just fine. I didn't miss it until I tried to pass this important knowledge down. I am capable.
- If I've forgotten most of this information and still did ok, I won't ruin anyone by missing it in the first place. Relax
- I love learning. When I love learning, they love learning (or they roll their eyes and wonder why I find something so interesting, not everything grabs them.) Interests
- I love my kids and spending time with them.All day, not the crumbs of frustrated, exhausted, lumps at the end of a long day. Contentment
- I could be out socializing my kids every day of the week at fun activities. In fact I often am. Fun
- Community college doesn't expect more of you than high school. Realistic Expectations
- It's harder than it looks, but not as hard as you think. Ambition
- There's no right way or wrong way, just different ways. Tolerance (I'll admit sometimes this comes with a dose of judgement, but I'm working on it, I really really am)
- Facts, figures, ideas, come without any teaching at all. It comes without lessons, it comes without nags. it comes without curriculum, grades, or bookbags. Then I thought of something I hadn't before. What if Learning doesn't come from a school? What if Learning, perhaps, means a little bit more?
Hopefully next year I'll have some insight into time management and how to challenge without pushing.
