Be A Lifelong Learner
- Be A Lifelong Learner.pdf
Intro to article:
My name is Ann Kuhlmann and I am a lifelong learner. I would like to encourage everyone to become lifelong learners. Lifelong learners value themselves, and realize that upgrading work skills or learning new activities results in benefits both tangible and intangible. You may say that you are too busy right now or that you cannot afford to go back to school, but you are worth the investment. There are many options to continue your education without going back for a degree, spending lots of money, or giving up all of your free time.
Preparing for Life's Challenges - Preparing for Life’s Challenges.pdf
Intro to article:
It is important to be as prepared as you can for life’s challenges. Part of being prepared is increasing your capacity to be self-reliant, trusting the value of your thoughts and decisions. It is great to have friends and family to talk to, but ultimately any decision that you make is for you to decide. No one else can really know what is best for you. If you are not satisfied with your life, you need to make changes, not someone else. Participating in the actions and decisions that impact your life will lead to a healthier and happier you.
