How is school influencing your life at or up to this point?

School is so exciting and interesting to me at this point in my life. I am 45 years old and I feel that I appreciate school more now than I did in my younger years when I took it for granted instead of realizing it is a wonderful privilege full of potential and opportunity. I use to just do the amount of work that was required to pass instead of striving to do my very best; luckily I managed to pass with a (b) average. School is a privilege and I feel so fortunate that I have the opportunity to attend, and I will not be satisfied with anything except 100% effort on my part.
