The Middle Child
| When you look up, you will see the eldest When you look down, you will see the youngest And I will be in the middle You would think I would be seen the most..... But, I feel like the forgotten one I am not the oldest, and get to do things first I am not the youngest, who is cute as can be I am the one stuck in the middle!!!!!! So where does that leave me? I am important too, hear my cry They may be temper tantrums They may be withdrawals But please do not ignore? For I too need to be loved I'm also a child of yours....... |

Trust
"You can't trust water: Even a straight stick turns crooked in it." -W.C. Fields
Trust is very hard, especially when people break your trust and never try to rebuild it. Taking things from you is wrong, yet their needs are bigger than yours, or so it seems to them. It is a daily struggle to trust people with anything, whether its thoughts, feelings, or emotions. They turn things around on you, as if it's all your fault. In the end, trust is built by starting with oneself, yet how can you build trust with a person who takes everything? Things you never really realized you had?

Busy...Busy...Busy
Today I started at the big university in my state. I am so excited to be back in school. I had a great day, and ran into lots of friends. I also enjoyed having coffee with one of my co-works who I absolutely LOVE to work with! I was a little concerned about getting to the right buildings at the right times, with them pretty close together, but I made them all and was a little shocked at how big the classes were! My first class, Sociology had over 100 students and then my second class, Kinesology had about 80. I already have lots of homework, but it is not very overwhelming. My next classes will be tomorrow, if we don't get snowed out! I will have Theater, which I am so excited for! I also have Anthropology with my sister tomorrow. I am hoping for a good semester!

Motivation....
If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.

This one quote is what always keeps me going during school. Summer school was crazy, and extremely busy. However, I do not regret it! I learned a lot, and met a lot of great people. I am now a semester ahead of a lot of my friends. Some might think it might be boring and depressing, but I'm excited to be where I am at. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am out of classes at my current community college at the end of this semester, therefore, I will be transferring to a larger university. The great thing is that I will still be close to home....which is so important because being away from my family would be really difficult for me. I am continuing to seek a Health/Science degree. However, I am changing it from dietetics to Health Education & Promotion. I am very excited for this semester and next semester!!
...and of course...he makes coming home quite entertaining!!
Yep, he's pretty spoiled! But who couldn't love this troubled monster?!

Professors...
I completed my spring semester. Not much, I really want to report, as I had a tough semester. I had some good professors, but I also had some unenthusiastic professors as well. One professor, in particular, made me realize why the education system needs some changes.
I had a biology instructor, who I had heard was the best biology teacher on campus, for both lecture and lab. I should have dropped after the first week. He was very belligerent toward the class and would not allow any questions during class. Who does not allow students to ask questions? I took the class with a friend and we ended up getting a C, which is crazy knowing that we are both straight A students! I spent more time on that class that I did for any of my other classes and I got a C! I have two more biology classes to take for my degree and I am worried/concerned for how my next professor will treat the class if he was supposedly the best instructor. The reason why I believe the education system needs changed is because when I went and spoke to the Student Services concerning the belligerence of the professor, I was told there was nothing that I could do, nor the school could do because he was on tenure. I find it hard to accept that some teachers cannot be fired because they are on tenure and bring down a student's self-confidence. Last time I check, that is not a teacher! Teachers are supposed to bring up a student’s self-confidence and allow them to ask questions, if they have any.
It took me several weeks to move on from spring semester. I am now halfway through my summer classes. I love all my instructors and feel as if they really enjoy their job. My English class was a little crazy, as the first professor was really strict and hard to please and then as of last week, she became too ill to continue the semester. I was concerned about the teacher who would finish out the summer session, but I have loved her enthusiasm toward English, which has made me pay more attention to the quality of work I am turning in to her.
I am taking my last yoga class. I have loved learning yoga and will probably do it for the rest of my life! I am taking a humanities course and have enjoyed the course. Although the professor is hard of hearing, he is great! I am trying to be more upbeat about my computer literacy class, but I find it boring. I will be attending an NA meeting on Wednesday for my Health & Wellness class. A part of me is dreading it, but another part of me is curious as to what they do and how they help the people who need the meetings.
