First Semester Wrap Up!
Thursday I will have finished my first semester back to college at 35 and I didn't fail!!!!!
I missed my blog post last week because I've been busy with holiday shopping, work, kids, and studying for finals. I'm hoping I'll make a strong come back on next weekends blog! I have activities going on and my last exam is Thursday so you can bet your ass I'm celebrating!
I want to give you my take away on being a student. I cried so many times this semester!!! My instructor was so intimidating in the beginning that I doubted myself a million times! I kept thinking there is no way I'm going to make it and then test results came in and I would do way better than I had imagined. I thought she must hate me because she keeps pushing me. Isn't that how we feel as parents with our children? We want them to reach their potential. Now I love her!!! I realize now that she wanted to make sure the ones that made it, earned it. After class this week she was telling me how 47% of students won't pass with a C or better. AND I DID!!!!
There were so many times that I felt disconnected from my kids which is the death of me! That was my biggest fear as a mom is something taking me away from my kids. It was rough in the beginning and after one major melt down on my part, it woke my kids and Dennis up. The kids have been doing so much around the house! Dennis has been so supportive and listening to me explain what I'm doing in class over and over so I could comprehend. He would be asleep at the kitchen table just so I wouldn't feel alone. My parents have been so supportive! My mom has makes dinner for us like 4-5 nights a week! Like is she not an Angel!? My sister has been making dinner a night or two a week. I couldn't do this without each and every one of them. While I knew I wouldn't fail, the competition to get into these programs is intense and I'm already a pretty intense person so I would lose it right before every test. As I walk into my final exam with an 85%, I will walk away with a B whether I pass or fail. That's pretty damn cool! I had to come to the realization that I may be a B student and accept it. As one of my coworkers reminded me.... my patients won't care if I got an A or B, they just want great care & I will give it to them!
Look out Physio I'm coming for you!
