I return after what was almost a 2-year hiatus. Upon reflecting on what has been going on in the last two years, I delve into my experience as a student and a professor and analyze what it means to be a student. In short: Learning is an individual experience and you should never compare yourself to others. The only responsibility you have as a lifelong learner is to learn! Do not let school, classes, or others get in the way of expanding your knowledge and skill set. Take charge today and learn that subject, musical instrument, or skill you have always wanted to learn.
