A Reward for Finishing Grad School




Now that I am about finished with grad school, (in fact I will be graduating three weeks from today) I have decided to reward myself! Since I passed my exams, I am booking a trip to visit one of my best friends in Naples, Florida for a week at the end of December. I am so excited to see her. It has been three years since we have seen each other, but we talk on the phone at least 2-3 times a week. It will be great to rest, relax, and enjoy the Florida sunshine with one of my best friends!

7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

After reviewing the 7 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits, I have to say that the easiest habit for me is to #1 Begin with the End in Mind. I have never had problems setting goals and setting plans in motion to achieve those goals. In regards to the most difficult of the 71/2 Lifelong Learning Habits, I have to say that it #3 View problems as challenges. When a problem comes up, I do not typically think of it as a challenge that I have the opportunity to learn from. Maybe, as a result of viewing this tutorial, I will begin to view problems as challenges, as well as incorporate each habit into my daily life to be a successful lifelong learner.
