It is important to talk with the student about his/her story, expectations, desires, and motivation to determine where they are coming from, what their mindset is, and why they are needing to get back into school. Depending on where they are at in their life/career will be a factor into the motivation to get into school. Older students may be doing it as a responsiblity to care for their family or provide a better lifestyle, younger generations may be doing it because that is what you are supposed to do after high school, or their parents are encouraging them to get into college. Generational gaps typically are going ot lead to the direct reflection of motivation.
