I hope I won't be viewed as politically incorrect for naming the topic "adult" learners (we're all adults!).
I'm 47 years old and returning to college this fall at Buffalo State to pursue a second career. I would like to meet others who are doing similar & would like to meet new friends. |

Hello I am also an adult learner and no you are not politically incorrect for saying that. It even asks that on the application! I am 36 years old and will be transferring to Buff State in the spring to pursue a teaching career in Secondary Ed Earth Science with a second certification in Biology. I am also minoring in Theatre. What's your major?

 No...I don;t think there is anything wrong with the Adult learner part either. Yes we are all adults, but I also get your meaning. I too am in school at an "advanced" age of 47. I earned my Associate Degree two years ago and now want to achieve my Bachelor Degree in Social Work. So off I go to Buff State in the fall. I am very excited about this semester coming and can't wait for it to start!!! Looking so forward to it. Hope to hear from you. Lynn The Antidote to Fear is Knowledge.

What's your major? I am also seeking my teaching certification in Biology/Earth Science.. minoring in Environmental Science. I've been a Registered Nurse for the past 15 years & pursuing that "second love" of teaching. What kind of work do you currently do? |

I tried to reply to both messages the other day & there was a "flood" filter on so it kept me from posting. Doesn't seem to be there tonight. I'm really looking forward to going back - my kids (ages 15 & 9 at home) think its funny that I need school supplies this year too  Are you working & going to school? I work full time M-F 9-5 as a home health nurse so I know its going to be a little tough at least in the beginning... planning on 9-10 credits (3 classes).

Right now I'm on Disability due to personal health reasons. But I'm really into theatre and I will be directing a play for the first time this fall. I'm totally excited. I'm currently at N-Trip right now and I graduate in December.

I am an "adult learner" as well. I am 36 years old, I have 2 children, and I used to be a paralegal. I am now going for my degree in education. This fall will be my first semester at BSC.
