BACK TO SCHOOL 2025

ATTITUDES MATTER

Looking back, I had mixed feelings about going back to school. But a favorable attitude generally won out. Practicing for a sport during the summer would soon be replaced by team play, which was more important. Competing with others for good grades also mattered. The social aspects of being around those with common goals was important to me.

Teachers made a huge difference. Some were inspiring, others were not so much. Some were domineering. I clearly remember the teachers who were interested in my growth. It was a rare pleasure to talk with my favorite high school English teacher 55 years after high school. And to maintain contact with my college tennis coach.

Higher education matured me. My professors cared, but only to the extent that I worked diligently. This was somewhat different from high school. It took me a while to catch on.

In general, teachers or professors helped us to create a positive attitude by:

  • Cultivating a growth mindset. We were able to to see challenges as opportunities for growth.
  • Fostering a love of earning. It could become fun and engaging.
  • Building strong relationships. Positive interactons with teachers and peers made a difference.
  • Creating a supportive environment. We wanted a safe, inclusive atmosphere.
  • Promoting self-reflection and goal setting. It was important to see the relevance of learning.
  • Seeking help when needed. We were encouraged to seek out teachers or counselors as needed.
