Appreciating College

Today’s writing prompt could be answered in a few sentences! I’m a proud alumna of The University of Iowa for a couple of degrees, and spent one year at the University of Valencia in Valencia, Spain. I love both of these institutions and my experiences there.

I loved college. Later, I spent my entire professional career working in higher education with college students. I love working with college students, even though now I’m working with little kids as a substitute teacher. If given the chance, however, I’d return to higher education in a heartbeat!

My parents and relatives kept calling me a professional student when I’d go back to study after a brief break between degrees. I appreciate learning and working with young people. So college (and working with little kids) is a perfect for me! Besides, I feel that working with young people helps keep me young at heart! Go Hawkeyes!
