Story Circle

Walking into class this past week was an experience. This is the first time I have been in a class in college where the desks are pushed to the side, chairs are set in a circle, the overhead lights are off, and lamps are being used. This is how the story circle went on Thursday night. Once I got over that shock, I had to read my educational biography to people I didn't know. For someone who likes to talk, it seemed exceptionally hard to read that private information about myself.
The most interesting part for me, was the discussion on the brain. I felt the class as a whole had some good comments and good theories. It also made me wonder if I would ever be a good golf player. I only started last year, and hardly get to practice. So, yeah I pretty much stink. If I had started before the age of thirteen, I wonder if mastering the skills would have been any easier. I know the saying goes that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I think we are capable of learning a great deal even as we age.
