#2 Lifelong Learning

Watching the video about Lifelong learning really made me think about some short term goals as well as long term goals I would like to set for myself. While thinking about my "toolbox", and the people who can help or mentor me, my thoughts immediately went to some of the people I work with at Gale Ranch. I am grateful that I work with people who I know would help me, guide me and encourage me in any goal I set for myself. It made me think about my relationships at work and how I would hope to help or mentor any of my work peers in anything they might need my help with. One of my short term goals is to make myself go to lunch in the lunchroom, as sitting at my desk and losing track of time while checking emails or preparing IEP paperwork is not the most relaxing way to spend my lunch. Instead, I would like to build on my relationships with my 7th grade lunch group and get to know each person on a more individual basis. Another short term goal I set for myself is to have Katie W. show me more about how to down-load books to my i-phone as well as show me any other amazing applications that I just can't live without. I am grateful for my WW support group as I also have a weight loss goal that is on-going. A long-term goal I have for myself is to learn how to either play my guitar or the piano, so I know I can consult with our very own music instructor for guidance. In short-I am so grateful that I do not have to look far to get the help and support I need to become a life-long learner as there are so many amazing and talented people right here at Gale Ranch!!
