I can only guess about how my learning would have been different if I was born in 1990 versus 1959. Here is what I THINK may have been the difference. I really would have loved a class in computers. I know that the internet would have saved me countless hours of searching through the local library for books that were already checked out. Also, I would have enjoyed adding to my schedule classes like Filmmaking, Photography, Art History, Arabic, Chinese and Small Businesses 411. Of course, I can take those classes now at a local community college or recreation program. However, I feel like I am playing an endless game of catch-up. So much to learn, so little time.
People sometimes ask me what I wish I had learned before I started SIGNING FAMILIES. The list is pretty extensive. Basically, I wish I had taken a basic business course in college, including accounting, marketing and how to write press releases. Just last week I had to beg a favor from a friend to write a press release for me. (A shout-out to Shara from MommyPerks.com)
Enough belly-aching about my lack of business knowledge. Tomorrow, I will enhance my learning by making a trip to the public library and going directly to the card catalog! Whoops- meant to say sit at a computer and conduct an online library search! Yep- I have a lot to learn!
