Thankful Thursday and Lifelong Learning - 10 on the 10th.

You can link up here or here for Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful this week for a new Bible Study I've started.  It is for our Fall bible study at church starting in september.  I got the book early and have started some lessons and I believe it is going to be so good.  It's priscilla shirer's "Elijah".  

I am thankful to have lived another year.  My birthday was last week.

I've enjoyed the last 2 nights working a jigsaw puzzle.  It's been awhile since I've done one.  And I'm thankful for a sister who has lots of puzzles and is willing to loan them out.

10 ON THE 10TH 08.2021: LIFELONG LEARNING

I'm late on this meme, but enjoyed reading other's answers and decided to join in too.  So mine is actually 10 on the 12th.  lol  Go here if you'd like to read others posts or link up with your own.

  

1.    How old were you when you started school? Did you attend pre-kinder and/or kinder or go straight into first grade?  I was 5 years old when I started Kindergarten.

2.    Were you a good student? What was your favorite subject?  Yes, I was a pretty good student, but probably a little lazy.  If’ I’d worked and studied a little harder, I believe I could have been a straight A student.  My favorite subjects were math (until we moved and I had to change schools as a Freshman and Algebra kicked my butt because the new school had a different book and they were way ahead of us.) and I liked Reading.

3.    As a child, did you take music lessons? Or play a sport? Do you still play an instrument now?  I took piano lessons from 2^nd grade and until I graduated.  I did not play an organized sport.  Yes, I still play piano.

4.    Did you attend any kind of training or classes beyond high school? If so, what did you study?  Did you wind up working in a profession or job for which those classes or training prepared you?  I did not go to college, but I have taken many classes and training connected with my work over the 45 years I’ve been here.

5.    Have you taken any personal growth or adult education classes for fun? During the year that was Covid, did you home school, learn a new app to work from home, teach yourself to do something you might have paid someone else to do for you?  No, I haven’t taken personal growth or adult education classes.  I’ve used YouTube to learn stuff though.  Like new stitches for my crocheting and I learned to use a knitting machine from YouTube videos.  

6.    What would you like to learn how to do that you don’t know how to do already?  I would like to learn to play the ukulele.  

7.    Name something that you learned easily. Then name something that was a struggle for you to learn to do. Crochet was fairly easy to learn, but Algebra was really hard.  I passed but I can’t say I know it.

8.    What’s the last thing you remember learning? What kind of learner are you: visual, auditory, hands-on/kinesthetic, verbal, logical/mathematical? How to use the knitting machine and I’m a visual learner.  

9.    Hard to teach an old dog new tricks, school of hard knocks, pass with flying colors, learn by heart, burn the midnight oil, pull an all-nighter, play hooky – which of these expression best fits your life lately? Why?  Hard to teach an old dog new tricks.  But I’ve learned I can learn, it just takes a little more time sometimes.

10. What is something you’ve learned from past mistakes?  Don’t jump to conclusions until you’ve heard the whole story.
