There are 7 1/2 things that can help yo become a lifelong learner. These are: Start with the end in mind, accept responsibility for your own learning, view problems as a challenge, have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner, create you own learning toolbox, use technology to your advantage, teach/mentor others. All of these I do in some way already. Some I am better at, for example, start with the end in mind. I know what I want at the end of this. Sometimes it seems surreal like it is never going to happen but at other times it seems like the end is right around the corner. The habit that I have the most problem with is seeing myself as a competent, effective learner. I am in the last few semesters of classes of the subject area I want to teach and I find myself struggling. I do not want to give because I have put so much work in already but I know I can do better. I just need to drag it out of myself.
I feel that lifelong learning is something everyone should strive for. It keeps you young, you can never learn enough. there is always something interesting to know. I really enjoy learning and I enjoy sharing what I have learned with others. I feel it is how we grow in life. Knowledge is power especially when you know what to do with it.
