So surprise surprise, I can possibly attend college in the fall on scholarship. I cant believe I actually finished the application process it was an entire headache. I realized that recent teacher sent a letter of recommendation. I have everything submitted for review that is required. Paid the application fee. I applied last year for the Fall of this year because I was late by a few days for the spring semester I think. Now I am one day late for the arts degree, but I am thinking I’ll continue on the path of social work and early education/teaching/psychology. I would love to take these classes either part-time or full-time more than likely i can do part time and it will pay for itself.
I have to set a standard for myself to be the best I can be/Even if I dont make a career out of it, learning itself can be a good thing. It’ll be like retaking High-School but this time I’ll have the paper certificate or degree to prove what I know and am capable of.
Humanities/Humanist stuff is really what I enjoy. I love helping/teaching/assisting others and working on my goals to reach this. I want to help people also who have disabiltiies like SMI or others to integrate their skill sets and outperform where-as if they had a different teacher they wouldnt be as competitive, you have to teach creatively and reward behavior, but also re-inforce attempts at achievement, instead of punishment for failure-encouragement for success and not seeing it as failure, but as an attempt to succeed at something you werent prepared for or needed extra help with understanding. when I was younger people often commented I would be a good teacher or educator and that i was good with children. I was a babysitter for kids so that counts as some prep learning; to me it was easy. the hard part tbh was the extra stuff–like driving the child to school during a blizzard–and my car got stuck. etc etc etc things that arent your fault but you get blamed for. Im going to have to learn to tolerate a lot if I become a teacher.
