These are the words that my students have heard me say for fourteen years. They know my philosophy:
"If it were easy, you wouldn't need to take this class."
"Some things don't have an easy answer or any answer at all."
"You need to live with the questions, work with the questions, love the questions..."
Now that I'm in a class that is beyond my expertise...well, let's just say that I have a bit more empathy for those students who really don't even know where to begin. I'm an adult. I can advocate for myself. I know who to talk to and where to go for answers. I can manage my time. I don't really need much sleep or food or t.v. or time with my family.
"I Will Survive" (aka "Ode to the Computer")
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
kept thinking
I could never live
without you by my side
...boy was I wrong!
