Learning and Support Systems
Skills I Need to Improve:
Practice Persistance
When something isn't clear to me I'm going to ask my instructor or my academic advisor.
Meet Deadlines
To ensure I keep up with my assignments and discussions, I'm going to start setting up the calanders on my laptop and phone to remind me of due dates a day in advance.
Enjoy Relaxation
To relax I'm going to start finding some time for myself and do things other than school work and household duties, like reading a book or meeting classmates in the Ashford cafe.
My Support System
My whole family supports my decision to return to school. My oldest daughter has provided the most encouragement by actually showing interest in what I do. Sure, some family members say they're proud of me or they wish me luck, but to me words alone provide only minimal encouragement. My daughter sees when I'm struggling with something and she takes the time to actually help me through it. She helps grade papers as well as tutor in the sophomore English class at her school. She has even graded one of my first discussion posts before I posted it, and she pointed out which areas of my writing needed improvement instead of just telling me "you got this wrong". For example, instead of telling me which comma needed to be moved she explained why it didn't belong there.
