  4. What adults are thinking.. How does this relate to my job? I Have Experience to Share! I don’t think I need this yet. This instructor doesn’t care about this topic… This is so boring! This isn’t how we did this at my last job. I’m lost! It must be pilling up at the office. when they attend Class.
