About one third of the way through my second face-to-face interview with Diana Orozco, she said something that provided a window into her current state as an adult learner. She stated that “Time is precious and I feel like I don’t have a couple of hours a week to continually be in a class or a course were I’m not going to gain anything.” This statement wasn’t even a direct answer to the question at hand.
