Why it’s never too late to return to adult education

Why it’s never too late to return to adult education

All in all, returning to adult education can be daunting, but there are many supports available to adult learners now to make studying accessible and easy.

After all, feeling nervous is a normal reaction when we put ourselves into a new situation. Although this may be true, we need to overcome our fears. And remember that above all, the rewards of returning to adult education are huge.

Why are we afraid to return to adult education courses?

By and large, the fear of failure is the root cause of our concerns when we return to adult education later in life. Our inner critic goes into overdrive making us feel like we won’t be able to achieve our goals. The following questions might pop into your head:

  • Will I be able to use zoom to log into my classes?
  • Will I be able to write an assignment?
  • Will I have the time to complete my course with my other responsibilities such as rearing my children and work/life commitments?
  • Can I afford the course?

Above all, we need to shut down that inner critic voice. It’s important to realize, that you can achieve anything you set your mind on. In fact, don’t forget that all of your life and work experiences, means that you bring lots of knowledge with you to any course that you enroll in.
