Some of the students Anna mentored in 2016 for research projects spent an afternoon with us in our cottage earlier this month!
One aspect that was common to all of them was a grateful acknowledgement of the support they received for becoming aware of an ability that was resident in them- to formulate a research question, pursue the study and publish the data in to an article or make a oral or poster presentation!
It brought a new quality to their self awareness! To be helped to discover who one is the best gift we can offer to students during their formative years!
It was a well spent afternoon because each of them shared something that was refreshing about the process of becoming more than they aspired, through this research experience!
These young people brought a new enthusiasm to us. Following this, I wrote a scientific article and sent for publication yesterday! I was doing this after six months! Their enthusiasm revived me!
