While thinking about the negative influences that contribute to the delinquency of minors, I was inspired to write this poem.
"ALWAYS A STUDENT" Whether we're chatting with a scholar or cooing with an infant, we're always a student. Whether we're sitting in a physical classroom or sitting in the park, we're always a student. Whether we're intentionally learning or inadvertently exposed, we're always a student. Whether we're watching television or hobnobbing with felons, we're always a student. Once a bell has been rung, there's no erasing what was heard because we're always a student. For these reasons, we must always be selective in how we spend our time because we are always a student. Copyright � 2004 by Dolores Dawes, all rights reserved. ��

The only way to insure growth and development throughout life is to maintain a willingness to learn, and that means being exactly what you have stated so well within this poem: ALWAYS A STUDENT.

Totally on target! Takes a while to realize that the more we
know, the more there is to know. If learning is not the
greatest joy, it is right up there near the top. Thank you for
this inspiring and thought-provoking creation. 'Pea' <3

Oh, absolutely! Very well penned. As someone close to me says..."You need to remain teachable." This fits with that mindset perfectly. :)

Excellent, Delores. If I live to be 100, I hope I'm still a student, and still learning something every day.
