Lesson learned...my dad would not allow me to take my driving test until he was satisfied that I knew how to drive successfully on the Wissahickon and Lincoln Drives.  So, once I mastered handling his 1974 Buick Electra 225, he cautiously yet willingly began letting me drive on the drives, as thus I was able and allowed to take my driving test.

How I see my parents: as Godly, protective, the authority w/o being authoritative, working, providing, fun, strick, family oriented, independent, ...

How I see myself as a learner in relation to and as a product of my parents:  I had no other choice than to learn because that was my parents expectation for and of me, which they instilled in me to have for and of myself.  I believe I am a life long learner and career education because of the emphasis my parents placed on the value and advantages of Education and the doors a solid education unlocks, allowing the world to unfold to me.

Teachers needs to be for me:  protective, informed, prepared, on point, in charge, assistive, creative, fun, engaging, allowable, transparent, adaptive, supportive, willing to explore and willing to allow me to explore.

My insight to metacognition as a career educator:  many learners learn in many ways.
