It sounds like that experience shaped you into a wonderful teacher and now administrator because you've never forgotten what it's like to struggle with learning and how it made you feel.

As learners, we all have our individual struggles -- for example, I cannot tell my right from my left and spatial assignments always cause me difficulty.

Thank you again for your poignant reminder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190359791187413011noreply@blogger.com
