I’ve been joining GNO for more than a month now and always find the topic interesting – not to mention the great people I met there.

This week’s topic was so perfect for me because I have been planning on continuing my study soon. All these times I have this thought of looking for online learning but never had the chance to do a complete research (thanks to excessive tweeting ) and I was so happy to know I could start it on Twitter!!!

As I said before, for me life is to learn about so many things for all mind, body and soul. One thing I can not be more grateful is too see how many wonderful women are pursuing their higher education while being a wife and mother at the same time during the GNO this week. I’m not there yet and what an inspiration those ladies are to me. For this fact alone, even though the formal education I want to pursue is not here yet – I know I have learned so much already.

I loved this topic last night. It’s great to see so many people pursuing their love of learning. Beyond the obvious opportunitie that come from a continuing education, the fire that is sparked is so good for the soul!!

I was SO impressed with the smart and savvy participants at the Lifelong Learning #GNO Twitter event. I know many of the #GNO crew well, and they never cease to amaze me. The energy and enthusiasm over learning is one that’s truly inspiring.

As a mom, I am such an advocate of continually learning so that my girls will see the value in always challenging oneself… always improving. Having resources and access to those who can help further those goals — be it through non-credit courses, taking a Yale course for free (really!), diving into an online degree program, or heading to a local college at night and on weekends to finish a degree you once started — is invaluable!

For info on all those options and more, definitely hit into the dedicated “Moms Back at School” page at http://www.collegesurfing.com/mif.

And thanks to everyone who participated. Stay smart!
