Prelude to my response to the Song and Hill Article

So, this may be a little off topic, but I'm not one to let schooling stand in the way of my education...as stated at the top of my page.

Although it has taken me a little longer to respond to this article, due to the fact that I was away on a soccer tournament with a group of women from my community (of which love to hog the computer and leave me with no privacy to write down my thoughts when I did get a chance to get online)...I am somewhat glad that I was forced to take the time to read over this article a few times. The reasoning for my joy? It provided me with the "forced" opportunity to look into this article in-depth and truly focus on what it could teach me.

Some of the thoughts that flowed through my mind while reading over this article were: "I'm not an extremely motivated person at times (although I love to learn, its more so done on my own time), this being the case, am I bound for disaster?"; and my favorite "Is Lorraine trying to send her students a message that this class is going to be harder than we all would expect?" (LOL)

After all my questions came spilling out, I came to a realization.... This article is going to motivate me to learn something from this class...whether I like it or not! And yes, this class will push me to my limits, mainly for the fact that my entire life I have been taught to learn in such a way that has enabled me not to strive to question or look outside of the box...but now is the time to open my eyes a little wider and experience a challenge.....and this, I look forward to!
