Sometimes the Greatest Teachers are Your Peers

Every time I go to my education class, 276, I am dumbfounded by the magnitude of intellegence from my peers. They seem to have answers, suggestions, and ideas that boggle my mind because I find that I had never thought in that way previously. Not only that, I have noticed that every student, teacher as well, is more than willing to help and aid any questions or misunderstandings that I might have. They are genuine and unrestricted by their personal affairs at the time. I just want to add that such support and behavior means a lot to a person like me that has a hard time understanding many concepts and procedures, especially those involving the computer. I thank them all.
Now getting back to the fact that your fellow students or peers can be the greatest teachers, I must say that I learned a lot from the presentations that were delivered yesterday in class. I was amazed at the level of talent from those who presented. They might not notice or agree with me, but I think that they did an excellent job with their ability to speak publicly, articulating well and showing a real sense of personality and character; that which is different from many teachers who try to impress or don't seem monotone and uninterested. The information given to the class during those presentations helped me to easily capture, on my level of understanding, what a mindtool is and can be. I thank you all once again.

I feel exactly the same way - that's why I love student presentations = you always glean something from peers (that is if you are willing to be an active responsible learner.)
