This story episode follows a professor who changed the foundation of her lifestyle: she moved to plant-based living. 

In my conversation with Political Science professor Heather Hawn, we talk about the fear of loss that often accompanies plans for change. As a professor, she often sees this fear in her students and we talk about how starting this journey in her personal life has brought her great wisdom in the classroom.

We talk about the importance of finding community when one is a beginner and has so many questions. Again, there is great parallel for students at MTC. Finding a learning community when one is beginning, or beginning again, can contribute greatly to success. 

The magnitude of the impact of seeking higher education is not unlike Heather's journey. She talks about the deep satisfaction this beginning has brought her and how undertaking a new journey can strengthen the skills of problem solving and living with uncertainty.
