What I like about online classes

It's been over 40 years since I've seen the inside of a classroom, so naturally I'm afraid to share a class with younger students. I'm disabled and unable to move very well and walking the halls of a learning center is not ideal for me. Being able to speak to my classmates face to face would be beneficial for me,because when you can look in a person's eyes, you can partially gage their thoughts. You get to the root of their sincerity. Or at least you can see if they are faking a response. Online classes have made me a little shy about answering questions and giving the wrong answer though. I know I may seem strange, but you never want to be thought of as a person not knowing the answers in class. I enjoy my school and I enjoy being with my class. It's something I should have done years ago, but maybe this is that time I'm suppose to put forth an effort to learn something new. I like the way the ladies in my classes go in different directions during class. I find humor and knowledge in my classmates thoughts and conversations. In most of my classes I'm either the only male or one of two, so I sit back and enjoy the things women talk about. People say men have some out of the box conversations, well women say exactly what they feel they want to say whether it's about class or the day they've had. I enjoy it. This makes me feel comfortable and a part of in class, seeing that no one is pretending to be anything but who we really are. It is refreshing not having to be politically correct all the time. Thank-you guys you've helped me enjoy school and enjoy being around people I've just met and find a relationship with.
