A conundrum of being a student again is explaining this state of affairs to family and friends. When I share the news, I am invariably greeted with ‘Why?’
In early January I returned to the university classroom – as a mature part-time student – to earn credits to complete my BA at the University of Toronto.
A conundrum of being a student again is explaining this state of affairs to family and friends. When I share the news, I am invariably greeted with “Why?” These days I mostly ascribe my student life to a mid-life crisis and to having no hobbies. Truth be told, for more than half-century there has not been a year during which I was not a student or a teacher.
My children, one of whom started university last year and the other who will start later this year, are my most ardent supporters. They have never questioned my decision to return to school. I am transported back many decades when the start of a semester meant the opening of a new chapter in my life. My York University students gave me advice on whether to take class notes with pen and paper, or on a computer. I may yet have to ask them for study tips. My son showed me how AI can be utilized in generating basic summaries of required readings.
