Have you ever noticed that no matter what you do, sometimes you can’t shake your past? I have noticed no matter how much you change sometimes it is far to hard to get people to let things go. I am not the same girl I use to be. Having my son has changed me in so many ways. I just wish people would see that and stop trying to bring up what I did in the past. I am not proud of what I did to people, but I am not ashamed either. With out my actions in the past, I would not be where I am today.
I started my last class yesterday. It is so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that I will be graduating from college soon. It just took me 12 years to get to this point, but at least I made it. I plan to start looking into all my testing as soon as I can. I have to take the tests to get certified to teach in Texas as well as look into my GRE testing. I am planning to go back to school as soon as I am settled into a job. I want to get my Masters in Psychology.
I want to some day be able to work with teens. I think that if more people cared about the at risk youth, there would be more success stories. I wanted to go into teaching to help teens. Everyone wants to work with small kids, but who wants to work with teens? They need people to be there for them, to help them when they need it. The best teachers I ever had were the ones who were interested in their students, not just there to get a pay check.
