I’m finally a student. I’ve been really busy the past few weeks trying to keep up with the “kids”. Yes, I might be spending seven plus hours a day: reading a chapter, writing notes about the chapter, doing three individual assignments, writing theme papers, responding intelligently (I think anyway) to questions place on our discussion board, and you my friend can flip through the book after work and write two line responses and feel you’ve done it… well you haven’t done it. Yes, you may have a job and work forty to fifty hours a week, and, yeah okay, you’re chasing after two toddlers, but I have my distractions too! Yes, yes I do. I have a short attention span, cracky knees, bad eyes, and non-dexterous finger tips. I could almost apply for and receive social security. But no. I’m using my reserve energy at 3:30 in the afternoon to finish one of the above named tasks. And you know, there’s one thing I have that you don’t have. Determination! That’s right, Determination. And what does that mean exactly? Well that means I’m sticking with it, I know this will be one of the last times that I attended classes. The last time I’ll be changing my career. I know it’s your time. I know this. I accept this. But I’m determined to finish this. And you young lady or young man don’t take education for granted. To learn something new every day is a gift.
And one more thing… I got an “A” on my term paper …what did you get?
Bitacchhhh!
