Learning the different ages, background, and reasons that motivated these students to continue their education is my starting point to working with them on an individual basis. Not all students will be forthcoming with their personnel experiences until they feel comfortable....and sometimes that takes some time. Respect for fellow classmates is a given and also to be helpful to one another. Classroom mantra.... when you help others, you are helping yourself. It seems to work, and they make a friend in the process.
