#1

I really enjoyed the 7 1/2 skills of lifelong learners.  I must admit that I am a "seasoned" student.  I've already been teaching 17 years as I go for my masters.  I feel that all 7 1/2 skills tend to come easy for me.  I already have children of my own in college and understand the importance of continuing my education and was well aware of the amount of work it would involve.  I put a lot of thought into my decision to go back, which hits both #1 and #2.  Working in public education, I get to mark off #3 and #7, although I do enjoy mentoring other APSU students.  My learning toolbox is always being added to: I love technology, reading, electronic games, and learning about new things.  Again, my age may have something to do with the fact that all 7 1/2 were listed on the easy side of my page.  I approach each of my masters classes as if they are a challenge and enjoy "winning" each time I complete an assignment.  Coming back to school has been really fun so far!
