Still on the subject of Education, I have been tagged by Kilroy to answer the following questions as part of his Education Meme. So here goes:-

What was the name of the teacher that was most influential in your life from grades K through 6?
My answer: My English teacher Mr Ilett.

What subject did you favour in high school?
My answer: English (Language & Literature – I like my books!) and German

Did you attend a university and if so did you attain a degree?
My answer: No and no. I opted out of my original plan to become an English teacher and embarked on a Secretarial course at college instead.


Do you learn best through books, by watching or hands-on?
My answer: Through books.


Has education been an ongoing process for you? How do you feel about that?
My answer: Yes I love learning new things. I think life is a constant learning process. I have a great interest in complementary therapies and am hoping to take a course in either Aromatherapy, Reflexology or Indian Head Massage in September.

What seven people are you tagging to do this?
My answer: Sorry can’t think of seven people who have time on their hands to do this at the moment, but if anyone is visiting me and wishing to add their answers in the comments box, that’s ok with me.

What was the name of the teacher that was most influential in your life from grades K through 6?

My most influential teacher was my sociology teacher in high school; Mr. Lynn Smith.

What subject did you favour in high school?

Science, definitely. Chemistry and biology.

Did you attend a university and if so did you attain a degree?

Yes, but it was about 20 years from graduation until I went back to school. I have an associate's degree in funeral services.


Do you learn best through books, by watching or hands-on?

Hands on.


Has education been an ongoing process for you? How do you feel about that?

Yes. As our host mentioned, you never stop learning. Just because you aren't enrolled in school doesn't mean you can't learn new things.

I am just now catching up with my reading; I wonder where the time goes these days!

Thanks for your blog, Naomi...always super posts!

Thanks for stopping by Granimore and Marion. Thanks for completing the questionnaire Granimore. I don't usually post things like that one here but I think they are quite good fun.

Marion I am hoping to learn either Indian Head Massage or Aromatherapy massage. I will keep you posted. I'm also interested in Reiki and would love to hear more about it. It's lovely to see you again. I'm sure your beautiful little grandson is keeping you busy!
