Thing 1-- Lifelong Learning

I enjoyed watching the tutorial on lifelong learning. My grandmother had Alzheimer's Disease, and there is a lot of research that suggests that keeping one's mind active can help to deter the onset of Alzheimer's so I make it a point to engage my brain with sudoku puzzles and crocheting and reading, reading, reading. I also really enjoy working with web design so this project is right up my alley!

My biggest strength in the 7 1/2 habits to lifelong learning is habit number 4: to have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner. Thanks to my wonderful mother, I have always believed that I am capable of learning anything that I try to learn. Some things come less easily than others (probability and statistics!), but if I make an effort, I know I will succeed. My weakness lies in habit 3: view problems as challenges. I am quick to grow very frustrated, and this is something I try very hard to work on. Although I love working with computers, for example, I also find them more aggravating at times than anything else on the planet!

I am looking forward to uncovering the rest of the discoveries in this project!
