Computer Based Training

There are so many lessons that we learn through living. Whenever I think I have seen and heard everything I hear something new. This is a good thing because once we stop learning we start dying, no matter what age we are or how good of physical shape we are in. Most of the important lessons that I have learned have come from my children. Children have a way of helping you keep an open mind and to realize that just because you have thought one way for years does not mean you cannot change your mind.

I have three children; twin sons and a daughter. They are close to each other. We were concerned that our daughter would feel isolated because of how close twins naturally seem to be, but they were accepting of her and the three of them get along very well. The twins are not identical in looks. You can definitely tell they are brothers, but one is a bit taller than the other and they have different facial features. They both enjoy athletic activities and are good at them.

Academically they need to study in order to achieve good grades, but this has not been an issue for them. When they were getting to the point in high school when they had to apply for schools one of the twins began applying to different universities and the other said that he wanted to get a job and take some computer based training to start with. He was not interested in going on to school right away. I asked him what he meant by computer based training. He told me he had checked into several different schools online. He thought he would be able to get his general electives completed in this manner and then go to classes in the classroom for his major. I had the opinion that computer based training was not very legitimate and that it would not be a good experience for him. He insisted that this is what he wanted to do.

He began taking the computer based training as soon as he was done with high school. He did the course work and took tests online. He also was given a full time job at the sporting goods store where he worked. By the end of the summer he had completed four general education electives. He kept going with this pace working his forty hours a week and also getting his computer based training. When his brother was starting his second year of college he started as a junior. He was able to work on his degree in marketing and continue working three fourths time. He ended up with a degree in three years and was working in his field when his brother was still in his senior year of college. This made me change my opinion of computer base training.
