Tips for Nontraditional Students - plus some new articles and links

How are things going, Nontrads? Leave a comment. I hope things are going great.

Here are some tips from past postings.

#1. Keep focused on the big picture. Do your best, but don't get discouraged. You can always take a class over if you want.

#2. Seek out help whenever you can. Ask your teacher or professor if you have a question. Make a study group, or have a study buddy who can take notes for you when you need it.

#3. Believe in yourself! There is a LOT you can do that you are not even aware of.

#4. Talk to other Nontrads! Make some friends of all ages when you are at school, whether online or offline. You'll be glad you did.

And enjoy this time of studying and learning. It's about the journey too...

Inspiration for Nontraditional Students

Here are a couple of inspirational quotes and pictures...

They are for all nontraditional students and also for people who are working towards improving their lives and the lives of their families.

This quote is so true for nontraditional students. They are looking at the Big Picture, and going to school sometimes for a long time in order to get that Certification or Diploma. Looking towards the future makes today easier sometimes.

Every baby step of taking classes is a step in the right direction for a better future.

Nontraditional students believe that they CAN do it, no matter how long it takes or how hard the journey is. If a nontraditional student can believe in his or herself, it doesn't matter so much what the world thinks.

Because the journey is all about the student.

I send good thoughts to all nontraditional students and everyone helping them today.
