Many Hats - My GSC Teaching and Advising

I have heard this statement numerous times in the past few weeks uttered by new students planning to start attending evening college classes at Granite State College. Of course it was also uttered with "I don't know how I will find the time" and "I am not sure I can do this." But they are doing it and they are excited about it.

"It" is college evening classes or weekend college classes.  They will make the time because education is important to them.  A college degree will advance their career, help them feel confident and proud of themselves, and even stave off Alzheimer's.  I actually had a student tell me this was her reason for returning to an adult college program. She is right, too. Education will keep your mind active, exercised, in shape, sharp and, well you get the point.

Another adult learner I met with was returning because her grandson asked her why she hadn't finished her college degree. After all she had just 2 classes left. There was no good reason not to and now she will be graduating in September.  She is so excited! As are so many adult learners who are taking classes to complete, or start, a college degree.
