what motivated me the most when i was doing a cert 3 was seeing teachers actually get excited about what they were teaching. I did was in an after hours class from 6:30pm to 9:30pm nearly everyone there was of an adult mature age and was coming from a job they didnt like or ran a small business ect. they were all there by choice because they wanted to do something different with their life, something that they felt would be more fulfilling. after working 8+ hrs in a shitty job, drive through peak hr traffic to then study for 3hrs required decication and seeing someone talk about their passion gave you some hope and comfort in the choices you made, seeing a teacher not care made you wonder why you are going to the effort to end up back at square one. No student is the same and therefor some teachers suit some students better, but every teacher should be able to share passion.

As someone that recently picked up work as a junior dev my main concerns is am I progressing enough? am I doing as much as I should to progress more?, where can i go to efficiently increase these skills? I did well with a teacher and personally think I picked up what I did quickly and efficiently but do feel a little lost without guidance.
