Substitute
Yesterday I had a substitute teacher in my English class. Just so happens it was my instructors husband. Come to find out I had a lot in common with him. He stressed to take every opportunity to learn. I love to read for fun, but I just don't have any spare time to do so. In the past I thought about getting some of those books on CD to listen to in my car, though I only got the thinking part done. At one point during the class he said not to listen to the radio when driving in your car, but to get audio books. Again stating; take every opportunity to learn. I always felt like I was wasting time driving in my car, especially sitting in traffic. So this morning I took his advice and went to the library and got my first audio book. Feeling a little ashamed of the fact that I am absolutely ecstatic about getting in my car to listen to my new book.

I like the idea that the substitute motivated you to actually go through with getting an audiobook to listen to while driving in your car. Having a substitute proved to be a positive thing for you. People don’t understand that there are always opportunities for one to learn. The teacher proved that point. I myself have done the audiobook thing. At first I was concerned it would distract me. It is no different than listening to music. You have absolutely no reason to feel ashamed for being excited about listening to your audiobook. I hope you enjoy it.
