We all need to remember as instructors that there is such a huge diversity of students in our classrooms and we need to make sure they all feel included and engaged. Some students may be going through emotional trauma we may not be able to see especially military veterans that have gone to war so make sure there are support programs in case they ask for help.

I've learned through taking yearly courses on instruction that people learn differently some are visual learners some learn better by reading and some prefer hands on so it is important to make sure your classes have a variety of different learning tools and for veterans which I am one of them just want to feel included as an individual, I didn't go to war but those that have just need us to be patient with them make them feel included

I've learned that I can delegate some of my tasks I don't have to do it all. I also learned that I need to take time out for myself even though my life is very busy with both home and work I will make a great effort to take at least a half hour to sit down and just rest and breath and relax. I average 5-6 hours of sleep every night and learned that's not enough so will try to go to sleep earlier and get more hours of sleep.

I will help my students remember how important their chosen career is to the health of everyone. They already had the self-motivation to begin with when they chose it I will help them keep that enthusiasm through out the learning process.
