“I feel like an exhibit” – a conversation with Professor Tadeusz Aleksander

Journal Title: Rocznik Andragogiczny - Year 2018, Vol 25, Issue

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the personage of Tadeusz Aleksander, one of the leading Polish educators and andragogues, a scholar whose personality has left a positive mark on many students of Jagiellonian University, College of Business and Entrepreneurship in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, and Wszechnica Polska University in Warsaw. In the autobiographical story, he shares with his former student memories of his origin, experiences of school years and studies. He recalls his first professional work. He mentions his mentors, tells about his interests. With abstemious silence he omits information about numerous successes and achievements, awarded prizes, and honors. He shares the reflection on what is most important in life – healthy family, hard work, diligence and resistance to unfavorable external conditions.
