I went back to school in March this year. I am 48. It is a business administration degree and I love the variety of classes!
Classes like Communication are challenging for me, but it helps me to get out of my comfort zone too. Not always fun but I need that. For the same reason I am president of the student council now. I want to get the most out of this education, because I feel blessed that I had been given this opportunity to return to school.
Approx. half my class are students who started this school right after high school, and the other half of the class are people like me: older, unemployed people who want to increase their employability. There are no jobs in my background anyway right now.
It annoys me that the younger students seem to be texting-addicts: they keep on texting on their cell phones during all classes. I guess it shows I am from a different generation, lol...
