So I ve been wondering why when my sister brings over her American Literature book, I feel a pang of jealousy that I do not get to take that class, or teach that class. The fact that I was up until 3am(which is when I decide to solve world problems) developing a curriculum in my head should tell me something. Right??? The fact that I have struggled myself and the fact that writing a paper brings me joy, should tell me something. The fact that the bad kids are cast aside troubles me, or that because of laws, funding, etc..the alternative school was shut down. Guess who attended the alternative school? Me, and it saved my life. In return I have been able to take care of family members and members of this very community. There is always a reason for SERIOUS behavior problems in a classroom, whether its boredom, family life, a medical diagnosis, etc. It does NOT mean that there isnt a chance. I was at a check-up this past week, in which we were discussing strategies for managing ADHD. I made the comment, You know, if someone would have seen this or realized this many many years ago, things may have been different for me. I got a pity look, and I realized pity is not what I want. Where Im at now is exactly where I want to be. Im starting over, and with that is the realization that I can still do what I want to, and I also now have the support that is needed. I love being a nurse and will continue to do so, but my heart is telling me to advocate and inspire the kids that need it the most. Im seriously considering changing my major to education. Im aware I cant save the world, but saving one person is enough thats required to change the world. I know how it is and I still do.
