Sharpen those pencils (what’s a pencil?)

I will have eight credits after this three-week immersion. My fellow students are interesting, diverse, and cautious. I wonder how dramatically our behavior will change by the end of the week.

I’m especially pleased that two of my three instructors came from the business world. They make the linkages between what we do day-to-day and what we’re studying. I was in classes for over 8 hours today, and I can honestly say that I’m energized rather than exhausted.

Adult learning is one of the few growth areas in the economy, and today’s experiences have reinforced my decision to take this big step.
