2. Because:
I have some of the characteristics
mentioned by Dr. Rodolfo Herrera
Ricaño :

4. Seroiusly, I have done this before…
I finished highschool in an Open System, and it did not go that bad…
Althought that was a long time ago…….

5. But I have recently started some studies in enterpeneur topics,
most of them online…and found out that…
when the topic is of my interest, I can find the way to dedicate
time and put a lot of effort into it…

6. And I have many other activities, it is true…but my
children are already grown and I have the support of
my wonderful family…

7. Of course, I will have other allies on the way…
Tons… most likely!!
Coffee??

8. ….And relaxation exercises!!!
Also an advantadge is that we, as
teachers,as Paul Davies mentions
in his book “Success in English
Teaching” are somewhat or a lot
familiarized with self assessement
and improving.
We have to do a lot of reflection
on our teaching; therefore…we
should be quite able to do it on
our own learning.
So…these are some of the reasons why I think I can
be an autonomus learner.
