This forum really made an impact on me as an Instructor... sometimes, it is easy for me to forget why I am here and forget the wonderful feelings I had when I first became an Instructor. Going through each section made me realize I need to get back to basics and connect with each and every student, each and every day. The students look to us for encouragement, insight, and wisdom, and it is our job as an educator, to be there for them. Knowing where our students came from and where they want to be int heir chosen career will make connecting with them much easier.
