Oh this crazy thing we call life..

This semester has been a real challenge for me! Being because I really have a sense of what I want to do with my career choice.  Starting college (ha I make it seem like it was SO long ago) I had kind of a sense of what I wanted to do..
A. Something short
B. Something I could make good money
C. Something I could have a family and not be just working mom thats never home, rather someone thats there for her family

I searched ALOT of options.. and as I have said in previous posts I decided on dental hygeine.  Many people told me that you don't have to know WHAT you want to do WHEN you go to college, which sure I guess has some truth.. if you want to be in college for your entire life.  Without knowing.. you really have no sense of direction. So I am glad I finally decided.. anyways back to being to this challege.. ha

The base of my major consists of science based program.  Therefore, classes like Chemistry, Biology etc. etc.. along with that I have to take statistics (luckily my last math class, thank goodness)

This semester I am taking stats, chem, english, sociology and an introduction to dental hygeine. LOVE all of them.  Not going to lie though at first it kicked my butt. I wasn't used to having to actually put forth an effort in school, it usually came to me...

Anyways, enough of me blabbing on. I will get to my point of this whole post! Haha.

In one of my classes a professor read us a quote that really stuck out to me..

"We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do."




When my professor read that, it really stuck out to me.  I have been having a really hard time lately with school being so hard.  And the people that I care about not being around me everyday to help boost me physically and emotionally. 
Alot of people say that college is the time to get out and meet people, but really to me.. its been much more then that.  It truly has been such an experience more in meeting my true self..
I have come such a long long way from a person I used to think I was.  I really have been beating myself up about it to.. thinking that people will never change there views of me, or I will never really be forgivin.  But when my professor read that, I really realized that its me that hasn't forgiven myself!

I learned so much from my past, and thanks to it (not saying I am pleased about it) I have learned so much..
I am a much stronger person, thanks to this crazy adventure we call life!  I am really trying to work on being a much more positive person this year, and little things like that always help!
 
Hope all is well with everyone, xoxooxo.
