Just wanna say that I see you guys @Birdofparadise8 @ENKELI as being compassionate, caring, inquisitive, and determined people, who are fighting odds with things that have come against you, to consistently move forward, putting in such effort and heart 🙂🌺💜
With the experience I had as a tafe teacher, quite a number of students would say they felt they wouldn’t make it through, however I’ll say here what I used to gently say to them: the concerns about learning are often based and focussed on fears of failure rather than the joy of challenge and learning something new, and the discomfort of hard-earned growth that brings well deserved knowledge that is yours forever. The application of diligence is a much more important aspect of education than feeling like there isn’t enough ‘smarts’, and I know this from some years of marking a variety of assessment tasks 🙂🌺
Go gently and apply yourself regularly to having a curiosity that has no boundaries, and remember that every question is worth asking 🙂
I used to teach anatomy and I taught students who lived with deafness, loss of sight, and MH conditions - all of my students passed their course, which in turn was credited towards their heath science degrees (they didn’t have to do anatomy at uni). The reason I mention this is because it was the methods used to apply oneself to study rather then focussing on perceived barriers which made all the difference 🌺🙂
I hope this lands well with you guys - I say it in kindness and to gently provide some different viewpoints to see things from 🌺💜🙂
