I am so excited! I can't wait until the new semester begins. I am so determined to make it through this semester and still be encouraged and excited to continue on through the following semesters. At this point, I am hoping to take classes in the summer as well as the spring and fall so I can try to speed up the process a little. I know it will still take a lot of time, but I have waisted a lot of time already, and I just really want to try to catch up at least a little bit.
I just bought myself a little netbook so that I have my own little computer to use during school and for homework. I will be taking a photography class this semester, so it will be very convenient to have my own computer to upload my photos.
I really want to prove to myself that I can stay dedicated to one thing until I finish it. This is truly where I believe God wants me to be, so I just have to stay faithful knowing that even though it gets tough, God is with me the whole way guiding my footsteps. I can't hide behind my excuses anymore. I may have a learning disability, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid . . . I can still do it . . . I just have to work a little harder than most. I may have had to start out lower in my classes than many have, but that just means I have to work hard and catch myself up as much as I can . . . not just give up when it seems hopeless.
I can't wait!!
While you work on coursework, why don't you also volunteer, perhaps at the senior center? You can write letters, take photos of residents to use as letterhead on the letters, do simple errands for them, read the Bible or your own poetry, just listen, the greatest gift of all, etc etc etc.
ReplyDeleteExpand your life experiences; don't contract them. You have far too many gifts to share with the world to limit yourself.
Hmm, that's a thought to consider. I never thought about that. :)
