I think there are some positives to being an adult learner -- compared to my first undergraduate experience, I have found that I now have much better intrinsic self-motivation, time management, and coping skills when the workload feels overwhelming.
I started looking into it...and started on my dream of being an anthropologist.
The more I attended classes and immersed myself around campus, I realized people from all walks of life come were coming together to achieve a common goal of getting an education.
I decided I wanted to finally do something for myself and be the first in my family to (somewhat) traditionally earn my degree.
When I explain what I'm doing to others and see their reaction, it gives me a sense of pride in what I've accomplished thus far.
