Confessions of a Lifelong Nerd The Valuable Lessons We Can Learn During Back-to-School Season
This has always been one of my favorite times of the year. Every year when I was in grade school and even when I was working in higher education, I would get excited about the prospect of another year in school. I’ve historically been categorized as a nerd, and it is true. I love school, I love learning, and I sheepishly admit I love the new pencils and paper you get each year before school starts. There’s just something about this time of the year that gets me energized!
With all of the changes to schooling and education that COVID-19 brought with it, it’s unknown at the time of writing this just how back-to-school season will be impacted by the pandemic. Some universities and schools have already limited or canceled in-person classes for the new semester, but I believe this season is still an opportunity for us to learn — no matter where we are in our education journey. Ushering in a new academic season invites us to examine our learning experiences and make a mental note of the ways we can grow and change. Whether you have a master’s degree or never went to college, you can always learn something new. I’m often reminded of a woman, famous for her spirit, who attended Smith College while I was working in admission. This student was in her 80s when she returned to school and finished her bachelor’s degree. She had dropped out when she met her husband-to-be many decades prior, but she was determined to finish her degree. She is a prime example of how learning doesn’t have to be linear and rigid. We are always free to explore new ideas and push the boundaries of expectation. I suppose I owe my love of learning to the teachers who sparked this joy. In particular, I’m reminded of Mrs. Votipka, my kindergarten teacher. She made learning fun. She was a warm, happy teacher who felt more like a mom. Mrs. Votipka managed to turn a classroom filled with children at various learning levels and with unique challenges into an inviting
atmosphere for learning. She even allowed me to bring my puppy in for show and tell! This picture of me in her classroom with my mom and sister looking on shows how I’m clearly bursting with excitement to be there! Mrs. Votipka fueledmy love of learning, and the years I spent in college student services and admission continued to foster this passion. Because of my experiences, I want to offer some words of advice to this year’s students who are starting a new school year withmany unknowns. If you have students in your life, then I encourage you to share this advice with them, too. Learning is an opportunity to grow. You may begin your college career with one idea for your future, and if you stay open to opportunities, then you may discover a different passion. Your life isn’t your major. It’s okay to try something new. That’s what learning is about. You will also meet many new people who just may become a part of your growing support system or who will challenge you in positive ways. When I worked in student services, I would watch my students’ knowledge and confidence build, and I witnessed their socialization and personalities expand, too. Never underestimate the power of learning when it comes to changing your mind and worldview. Whether you’re like me and cannot wait to hit the books again, or if it’s been a long time since you’ve tried to learn something new, then I hope you find time for education this fall. Even if you just vow to read a new genre or try something new for 15 minutes each day, your commitment to education will help you grow in ways you could have never imagined.
