‘Change’ can be difficult and sometimes it is helpful to confide in someone who understands what it means to become an adult learner, the common obstacles and hurdles you may come across (i.e. time management, anxiety, stress management, juggling family/work/school) or any related issues which could impede your success here at Hodges University. You are not alone.
