Feeling Proud!

I'm really not sure what's going on right now. It could be because most of my classes are okay, and so the ones I do enjoy, I enjoy with every ounce of my being. Maybe its because in approximately 3.5 months until I move back home, and I'm not really sure what to make of that. How about the fact that within this 2012 year so much is going to unfold and I'm flying free in trust. Whatever it is, I'm an emotional firework that explodes at the most random moments.

Today it was during class, and then later at home when describing the class to Steph and Amanda. Learning disabilities. In particular, reading disabilities. Yes you may remember it happening last semester (which can be found right here) but today is was more real. Real in a sense that our whole conversation was regarding students not succeeding. Students falling behind. Dropping out. No motivation. That without the support of teachers, educators, and families, so many children do not continue with education. I beat those stats. In 11 months from now I will graduate from University. I will graduate with a degree. Something that so many individuals with reading difficulties don't do- I will beat those odds.

I guess I'm just really freaking proud of myself. Although my marks range from 92-58,  I may stumble when reading from a text book, or confuse my words around. I may say the wrong word thinking it means something else, and my vocab, spelling and grammar may not be to par- I am doing it! I am finishing off this University degree with a home run and will have my trophy proudly displayed for the world to see.

Yep. 11 months from now. I will be Hillary MacDonald B.A.
Nice to meet you :)
