I thought the article’s points about how different generations learn and work together were really clear and interesting to think about. Last semester when I had too many deadlines, I once had to take my online class so I could balance school and family time better without feeling too stressed. It made me realize that knowing when to ask for help and make time for what matters can make learning feel less hard.
