Students are eager to learn and eager to listen. When that stops and they start yakking, it all changes. Sometimes it is as much the student that learns as the mentor themselves. Birth is the time when all the energies of the heavens and the earth open and we are standing at the portal. As a midwifery student, reverence your experience and your mentors. They are sharing with you something very special to them. The mother who gives you the opportunity to learn is giving a great gift indeed. She is allowing you to grow and to progress into what she choose to have attend her at her birth. Celebrate them and their courage and remain humble about all you do in midwifery for it will constantly keep teaching you if you are willing to learn.
