Is It Scary, College?
Posted March 25, 2010
on:What is it like, going to college classes as an older student? Do you feel weird? Is it difficult? How do the students treat you? I can tell you that it is very inspiring. It’s like sitting in a well-tended, well-watered garden. People and ideas are abundant, and the horizon is beautiful.
Time of Life:
My grandmother, at 91, never considered herself to be old. She was just herself. I admired that trait and hope to perfect it in myself. No, I don’t feel weird in college. I just think its my destiny.
Class subjects:
Is college difficult? The classes range in difficulty. Some we have an affinity for, our talents lie in certain areas, and success comes easier; but the others!!! I like to think that if I work hard enough, I can do them, and so far, so good. I must admit, if I need any tutoring, I do not hesitate for a minute to take advantage of the free tutoring service at West Lib. Sometimes when I don’t understand some concept, I start worrying – but you know, when it finally dawns, the adrenalin high is great. I do love good grades.
Fellow Students:
My fellow student-adventurers are a good lot. In my youth, I was shy. Not so much anymore, but I do tend to be on the quiet side, so although I don’t know everyone in the room, I really like those who sit by me. The ones that I know are friendly and warm, and I can’t wait to meet more.
