My mom and I take a tai chi (Chinese form of exercise) class for seniors. I would think that adults who take an exercise class do so because they actually want to workout their bodies. There is Karl - an older man we met who is always friendly and funny. Normally he stands in the front row, but on this particular day he was in the back of with us - in front of me. The Master (instructor) started off with his usual morning speech. He is uplifting, motivational, and philosophical - as one would expect from a Master. But he can drone on a little too long . Karl turned around and ran up to me. He whispered with a giggle, "I like it when he talks like this . . . we don't have to exercise as much". I guess even in the adult world there are students who don't want to do the work . What kind of student were/are you ?

I am the person that needs to be pushed into exercise.

Is there a subject that you really did like though - that no one had to push you to do?

Karl is a hoot - I think you'd like him. I tried to be serious, but it wasn't in me. If I at least accomplished the goals, I was satisfied.

Hmm I wonder why he is there then if he doesn’t want to work as hard. He sounds funny though.

I was shy and unsure and usually did not speak up in class,

I was like that in school - moreso after I went to middle school and high school. I was the one trying to sit in the back and I never raised my hand .

I always tried to get my piano teacher (a nun) talking so i didn't have to play so much, especially if I hadn't been practicing.
